How do we know what dinosaurs sounded like?
In: Biology
We don’t know for certain, but we can make some pretty good guesses. Have you noticed how trumpets and trombones sound similar without being identical? This is because of their similar but not identical shapes. Had we never heard a trombone, but we had heard a trumpet, we can come up with a pretty good guess on what the trombone would sound like by comparing the shapes of the two.
We know what birds and crocodilians sound like, and these have similar bone structures (shapes) to dinosaurs. By comparing these shapes, we can make some pretty good guesses on the sounds that dinosaurs could make.
