Dinosaurs Roar Views
I will never forget seeing Jurassic Park for the first time in the summer of 1993. Not only did the dinosaurs look real, but they sounded real, each dinosaur having its own array of chirps, bellows, hoots, and roars. According to paleontologist Phil Senter, however, dinosaurs may not have been able to make any of these sounds.
Did dinosaurs sound just like they do in the movies? Probably not, especially since most “dinosauri” sounds you hear are actually mash-ups of vocalizations made by different modern animals. Since the organs they would have used to vocalize with did not fossilize, however, we may never know what kind of sounds they made (if they were able to make them at all). Given the difficulty getting at this question, then, I say that we should continue to let hadrosaurs bellow and tyrannosaurs roar until we find hard evidence that they could not.
