For years, the sounds of dinosaurs were only imagined, but finally, one has become reality. The sounds come from Parasaurolophus, [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vLzjbaFaXRk/UdMXtH2IS8I/AAAAAAAAAAw/AqG_7o4yJMs/s640/blogger-image--1714191076.jpg[/img] one of the most famous hadrosaurs, and it is the only so far to have its sound reconstructed. Scientists found a very well preserved skull and blasted air into it, creating the sounds a real Parasaurolophus would have used to communicate with its herd.

How do they know they an extra proses isn't used by parasaurolophus, making it sound different. Where did you find this information.

it sounds good, and i believe in it, but still i think they would've made i bit more of a barking or cawing sort of noise (its hard to describe through text) thanks for the info

I believe the sound is legit, I just think the airflow is a little slow

Seems interesting. I have heard that they tried to reconstruct the sounds of dinosaurs before, primarily Para. Very cool. I would love to know what a Tyrannosaurus sounds like, haha

I love the roar from the Daspletosaurus in Dinosaur Planet. It sounds awesome! That's what I think T-rex may have sounded like, but that's just me.
