    Random thought prompted by this thread…

    So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry… were there any dinos that shared that trait?

     

    Dude from Jurassic Park: “Clever girl…”

    Raptor: “CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!” eats his face

      They are basically the sistergroup. When the term dinosaur was coined, the most distantly related dinosaurs were taken as reference and everything and everything “between” them was defined as a dinosaur. Pterodactyls weren’t known back than, that’s basically the reason they are excluded

        Please do not listen to this Podcast!!! You will loose all your friends and family by dumping a metric fuckton of completely out-of-context dino-facts all over your social life.

        Trust me, its not gonna be pretty. I listened to a few episodes and little plastic dinosaurs started appearing in our living room. Also my three-year-old started speaking in tongues (says my granny because apparently she doesn’t now what a Micropachycephalosaurus is)

        BE CAREFUL!

      Dinosaurs are currently defined as anything that descends from the most recent common ancestor of triceratops and the pigeon.

      Which, as others pointed out is mostly due to dinosaurs being originally defined before we found the first pterodactyl.

      If you want to refer to dinosaurs and pterodactyls, you could use avemetatarsalians (anything more closely related to birds than crocs) or ornithodirans (dinosaurs + pterosauromorphs).

      Also fun is that there’s a number of crocodillians that look suspiciously dinosaur- like, like Shuvosaurus. Convergent evolution is wild.

      There are many decades between use of this font and the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This post is a typographical disaster.

        After seeing Bonn and Berlin I must say they both suck. Should have made Duisburg the capital.

    When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd “facts” that sticks with you, though.

    This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.

        I mean… I 3d printed the model in TPU… it kinda sounded like a squeaky fart.

        Granted, I’m not a scientist, and I’m pretty sure the sound is going to be affected by material and stuff. but it sounded like a squeaky fart.
