Yeah they didn’t “just” discover this, I saw the study around 2015 lol they sound way more terrifying Edit: thanks to technology, AI technology, and the skeletal remains of dinosaurs, it’s basically proven they sounded way more like birds/eldritch horrors 😂

[@OmnipotentNoodle]

Jurassic Park actually brought on an expert to help them design the sound effects, but when he told them that they probably sounded more like really deep birds, they didnt like it because they didnt think it wouldnt be as scary or exciting as mammal roars, lol. I think there's an AppleTV "Nature Documentary" about dinosaurs that does a really good job capturing the essence of these incredible, alien sounds. P.S. Some dinosaurs instead sounded like really deep crocodile rumbles, which btw are terrifying. Go ahead and google crocodile noises and then imagine those reverberating through a misty valley from kilometers away. P.P.S. Brontosauruses didnt have much in the way of vocalization. They just sorta hissed, lmao.

[@astaldogal]

While i understand that they wanted what seemed like a more intimidating sound for the dinos, there are MANY birds that sound downright creepy and would freak anyone out of they didn't know what was making it. Lol a shoebill stork is one that comes to mind. A lyre bird and cassowary, two more lol

[@BikiniBottomBankRobber]

That’s a shame cuz roars are legit like the “jump scares” of the sound world lol. Maybe if they make more Jurassic movies they’ll use more legit sounds

They never got the sound wrong in Jurassic Park. They said numerous times that they had no clue what dinosaurs sounded like at the time and decided to come up with a roar that they liked. Now, when you see and hear an Eagle in a movie or tv show, thats wrong. The bald eagle scream heard in most movies and television shows is actually the call of a red-tailed hawk.

[@somecallmetim4490]

[@tattoodude8946]

With so many different speices I would assume they all had different vocal cords/ larynx. Going from Rex to Archosauria would be like comparing a crocodile to an armadillo.

[@samanthagibson5791]

They are closer than crocodiles and armadillos. Crocodiles are archosaurs and armadillos are mammals, all dinosaurs are also archosaurs, but a subgroup. Its just a subgroup which had a lot of time and open niches and diversified a lot. I agree that the two dinosaurs are not closely related, but if that dinosaur had similar vocal arrangements as birds, then T. rex really should as it is much closer to birds

I am surprised you are comparing a reptile to a mammal. There are hundreds of different species of birds which they all have distinct cries do all sound similar. This would be the case with dinosaurs. Unique cries but all similar. Especially considering birds are dinosaurs, some if not all dinosaurs would sound similar to a bird cry.

[@alkatron768]

"So this Ankylosauridae probably didn't sound like we imagined the T-Rex would sound like"

[@jonispatented]

Modern birds are saurischian dinosaurs. Ankylosaurs are ornithischian dinosaurs. Both branches had the same types of advanced vocal capabilities, which implies that they inherited them as a synapomorphy. That means that the common ancestor of ornithischians and saurischians had similar vocal structures, which means that other saurischians did, too, including T-Rex.

[@anonymousapproximation8549]

​@@jonispatented crow, bald eagle, red tail hawk.

[@Roachesinattenchcoat]

@@jonispatentedokay, but this is still bad science communication. I get the same thing as an entomologist when people say “ants count their step.” We have A piece of evidence that ONE species of extreme climate ants POTENTIALLY counts their steps, and people say it’s all ants doing this. Here, we have been given one fossil that suggests that one group of dinosaurs had specific vocal cords, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that other groups, even closely related ones, didn’t evolve slightly to majorly different vocal patterns as their common ancestors diverged. Jumping to “all dinosaurs sounded this way” from “we found one dinosaur’s vocal cords” is a crazy and unfounded leap

As a scientist myself I really would like it if KZbinrs stopped using catchy titles like "we were WRONG about this and that". There's a huge uprising against science right now as the American population becomes less educated and more conspiracy laden. In terms of this discovery, scientists weren't "wrong", the new findings simply cleared up our understanding that was based on previous work.

[@jameson2916]

Nope. Once it's taught or put in a book for someone's learning, you can't humbly withdraw. You were simply just wrong.

[@fallen4life080]

@jameson2916 Nobody's asking to withdraw, we're saying that moving forward videos can title their content better to reflect that that things get cleared up with more evidence not necessarily negating the previous evidence. It's like discovering that the earth is actually slightly pear shaped due to the higher land masses contracting in the northern hemisphere. That doesn't suddenly negate the fact that the earth is also globe shaped it's just not the elliptical globe shape we thought it was.

[@jameson2916]

@fallen4life080 Right. What I'm saying is a way to do that would be to not claim to be so sure in the first place. And without doing that, "scientists" will always "be wrong". Just like this video, it assumes that scientists were wrong but then assumes the 'correction' as well. How long until further information proves this 'wrong'? It's OK to say "we speculate" and it 'seems' instead of acting like we know just because we've put forth a little science. Science is just as much about disproving things as it is proving them. We only prove them by not bieng able to disprove. People treat what we call "science" as if it's a law from God when it's really just a process still in action. BTW, scientists are often wrong.

Well they examined a completely different dinosaur than a T-Rex so until we have a larynx of THAT species; it means nothing.

[@TeddGCM]

I would agree, you can't relate the organ of one species to another.

[@kizza8585]

No. Birds (non-avian dinosaurs) have a vestigial larynx. It's there but doesn't function, they use the syrinx instead. Reptiles like crocodiles have a functional larynx. We already knew all dinosaurs must have a larynx because they're a part of the phylogenetic clade bracketed by crocodiles and birds. This is the evidence that the larynx was still functional in non-avian dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period. Although this is an ornithischian species, it makes it way more likely that theropods such as T. rex also had a functioning larynx, which eventually gave way to the syrinx we see in avian dinosaurs today.

[@nobodyinparticular968]

it stands to reason that the larynx is probably pretty similar for most dinosaurs its equally as reasonable to deduce that birds dont make roaring noises after hearing only one bird, which is a correct assumption

[@Italianjedi7]

@ You can’t make an assumption like that. There are so many differences among similar species here on Earth. The Ankylasaurus was a plant eater. T-Rex was a carnivore. It may have made totally different sounds to reflect that. Lions don’t sound like turtles

Birds actually evolved from the saurischians (specifically maniraptoran theropods), and crocodilians and other reptiles didn't evolve from any dinosaur at all. The terms Ornithischia and Saurischia are only helpful at classifying most dinosaurs at a surface level, but there's two groups that go against the standard definition of these two orders: ●The paraphyletic silesaurids, which were primitive Ornithischians that had forward-facing hips like Saurischians; ●And the maniraptoran theropods, which were derived saurischians that had backwards-facing hips like Ornithischians. It is the group that includes feathered dinosaurs such as _Therizinosaurus, Oviraptor,_ and _Velociraptor,_ and this clade also gave rise to modern birds. Meanwhile, the ancestors of crocodilians (the pseudosuchians) split off from the ancestors of dinosaurs (the avemetatarsalians) roughly 250 million years ago, meaning that while the two are related, modern crocodilians are not dinosaurs. In addition, turtles last shared a common ancestor with dinosaurs and crocodilians about 252 million years ago, and all three of these groups last shared a common ancestor with lizards and tuatara (lepidosaurs) about 300 million years ago. Hope this helps.

Wrong, dinosaurs split off really early from reptiles. Crocodiles and dinosaurs are both archosaurs, but they're not related. Lizard hipped dinosaurs died out with no relatives

[@iapetusmccool]

​@sapphhere283 crocodiles and dinosaurs are related. That's what them both being archisaurs means. Counterintuitivly, birds evolved from the "lizard-hipped" dinosaurs, not the "bird-hipped" ones.

My kid does that sound perfectly, since he was 3. 😂

[@twentythreegramsofsoup]

Makes sense if you listen to a video of a cassowary rumble

[@numbersix8919]

So birds inherited their bird voices from their ancestor dinosaurs. Makes sense.

[@kizza8585]

Birds evolved completely different vocalisation using a syrinx. They still have larynxes but they don't work. This is evidence that non-avian dinosaurs didn't sound just like birds, but they had more complex vocalisations than crocodiles.

[@numbersix8919]

@@kizza8585 A syrinx you say. Thank you, I'll have to look that up.

[@Yautja24]

T rex does not sound lik this - becaus we studied the larynx of Ankylosaur...? It's like we know how a goldfish sounded like becaus we studied a dolphin...

[@SailorIda3]

Do you have a link to the paper? Id love to read it :)

[@ars-br1ms]

we don't even know if dinosaurs were lizards at all, they won't change anything just because dinosaurs sounded like birds

[@rafaelmarangoni]

“Making their voices more like birds than reptiles.” Well, birds are reptiles. 😂

We as a human species know nearly nothing. We rush to find answers that are almost always wrong.

yes he is a child screaming around like a trex

[@Yeti_Sign]

I just want to hear giant dinosaurs doing really complex mating calls like little birds

[@harmonyquinn2557]

I mean, birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. But just because THAT particular dinosaur had complex vocal cords doesn’t mean a TRex absolutely did.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

A T.Rex running up and screaming at you like an eagle would be horrifying, and I am 100% down for that.

[@leaaronsanchez]

Accurate T-Rex sound would have to too scared to have a go camping again

[@johnsmith1953x]

T-Rex imitating sounds like a Parrot would be soooo frightening!!

[@corajeanmcnulty2238]

Honestly, imagining the Trex sounding like the Bellbird is still pretty terrifying.

[@furwerkstudio2057]

This is going to make horror games with dinosaurs more interesting.

[@OnThisDayOf]

The dinosaurs also were not that skinny - the people who researched them basically said their skin only laid on their bones, and that was that.

[@cjcunninghame6801]

Also scientists think they had feathers, dinosaur's with bright coloured feathers tweeting like birds 😂 it's not as scary as first thought.

[@iamyourmom2]

No, that was debunked years ago

[@2ndless57]

you can still make birds sound terrifying

Listen to a bunch of chickens screeching at each other..thats what dinosaurs sounded like

That’s really interesting. It’s interesting to know how certain sounds were made during the filming of movies.

i cant remember the exact paper, but iirc t rex specifically wouldve likely had a VERY deep rumble similar to the aligator but deep enough that it could be felt through vibrations
