Did dinosaurs roar?

Sometimes paleontology manages to make astonishing deductions from remains that, despite seeming little thing, actually hide incredible information. But it also has weak points and one of them is the field of sounds. How to know, for example, what was the sound emitted by dinosaurs? The fossil remains do not shed light on it. In a PROFESSOR we are going to discover one of the unknowns and we will tell you if dinosaurs roared.

The difficulty in finding out more about it lies in the lack of better preserved animals, but the mists of time are too far away to even dream of remains that allow the preservation of soft tissues in order to study them. Another rooster would crow if the ice had kept them naturally cryogenic, as has happened with some mammoths, such as the baby mammoth Lyuba, which was preserved intact under the Siberian ice. And yes, dreaming is free, but it does not answer the questions.

And the movies that make you roar relentlessly, what are they based on? "They're just speculation," says Lindsey Zanno, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University. Day by day,

it is unknown what sounds the dinosaurs made.

Deduce what their sounds were like from the vocalization observed in their modern descendants, such as birds or crocodilesNor does it provide reliable clues, since an abundant causality is observed.

Although it is not known how their soft tissue worked, speaking tools typical of vertebrates, experts assume they made some kind of noise. Their enormous size and fierceness, -although they were of different dimensions and some were peaceful and herbivorous-, leads one to think that they were not precisely mute animals.

The issue remains open and any statement is still mere hypothesis. An incognito that science has not yet been able to solve, but dinosauromania demands answers. If no scientific answer is found, the imagination will do its thing ...
