Not to mention that they wouldn't have addressed them by the names we gave them after they went extinct.

Back then they pronounced the P
It still is in German! But we use K instead of C in this case, so true, if they spoke German it would be a Pterodaktylus
Isn't this just the premise of the secret Hitler board game?
I thought those were Rammstein lyrics.
For all I know, that's just two metal bands saying hi.
Didn't someone blow into a parasaurolophus crest and it went "toot" or something?

Bad German! You can't lebensraum here. Back to Bonn.
After seeing Bonn and Berlin I must say they both suck. Should have made Duisburg the capital.
There are many decades between use of this font and the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This post is a typographical disaster.
I will always know pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs. Not because i know the difference, but because i have a lil nephew.

I have this song memorized. Not by choice mind you. Watch at your own risk
Random thought prompted by this thread...
So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry.... were there any dinos that shared that trait?
Dude from Jurassic Park: "Clever girl..."
Raptor: "CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!" eats his face
I think i read somewhere that velociraptors were about as smart as a dog. Convergent evolution, because both are group-hunting predators.
So are dolphins (group hunting predators). Pretty sure they rank a lot higher than a dog on the intelligence scale.
But they rank lower on the good boy scale so it evens out
Annihilation flashbacks...
"What the hell are you?"
bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.
so it's a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.
Idk man there are some birds that don't even sound like birds.
Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it's beak.
If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.
I've always imagined that they sound like angry chickens or geese.
Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That's never mentioned in children's farm animals books...
All geese are angry geese.
I mean, technically angry chickens (and non-angry ones) and geese are dinosaurs. More than the ones mentioned in the post.
This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.
Scientiats were able to make one sound. Ahh!
I mean... I 3d printed the model in TPU... it kinda sounded like a squeaky fart.
Granted, I'm not a scientist, and I'm pretty sure the sound is going to be affected by material and stuff. but it sounded like a squeaky fart.
The last thing you hear before becoming one
naw. The mummy vocal chords are creepy.
Dino vocal...er... do they even have vocal chords?... My nephew was in a dinosaur phase. (still is, to be honest. there's 3 phases I never grew out of, if I'm any indication- dinosaurs, jumping-in-mud-puddles and robots. despite my SiL's protests... I think I'm a great influence.)
Birds have syrinxs, they don't really work the same:
Oh here take this then :D
Playing that for my niece, just as soon as they come over (probably this weekend.)
You know that scene in Serenity (aka firefly,)? I may resemble that.
When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd "facts" that sticks with you, though.
Was geht, Brontobro
