July 9, 2024 (1 year ago)

About this video

The sounds of the Dinosaurs you will hear in this video are close guesses. Scientists can't know for sure what dinosaurs sounded like, but they use a few clues to make educated guesses. Here are some ways:

Fossils: They examine fossils of dinosaur parts that might be linked to sound production, like the voice box (larynx).
Similar creatures: They compare dinosaur anatomy to living animals like birds and crocodiles, which are thought to be dinosaur relatives.
Body size: The size of a dinosaur's body can tell scientists how much air it could move, potentially influencing the sounds it made.
