What if dinosaurs clucked?

Unfortunately, nobody knows for sure and, until we find a fossil which has somehow preserved the soft tissue in the throat (which is very unlikely), we shall never know whether dinosaurs had developed the syrinx mechanism which birds have or whether they had a larynx as crocodilians do. We also know very little about dinosaurs' hearing ability. If we knew what sounds they were able to hear, we could, perhaps, surmise what sounds they might make. Since birds are the closest relatives of some of the dinosaurs, it's more possible that they would have squawked, clucked, whistled and cheeped than that they would have had the roars which one hears them use in Jurassic Park.

That is one ugly chook in the photo!

what if chickens roared like a T-Rex?

I suppose we'll never know, but it's fun to think of them crowing like a rooster.

@Fleura , haha, oh my word, if you think how large some of the dinosaurs were, could you imagine how loud a cluck out of one of them would've been!

This is interesting. Crocodillians? I never heard of them before.

Feeding the chickens is safe enough but you need to great care when handling the eggs because you never know what may hatch from them.

A ten foot chicken? Just think how huge that fried chicken is and how will you consume it. :-)

Haha I've thought of the link with little birds, but never chickens

I have no doubt that chickens are dinosaurs. Their behavior can be merciless and barbaric at times. If one gets hurt, the rest will destroy it. But,, where would egg muffins be without chickens?

I have remembered this pic. It is called "Most probable reason for evolution"

I have a hard time seeing in my mind the dinosaurs clucking but who knows...they might have done that. Maybe even crowing too.

You have a weird thought but who knows you are right.

It is quite a fascinating subject, dinosaurs. I have a couple of books from over the years and seeing how the thoery progresses is interesting

It would be weird if dinosaurs and chickens sound alike . But who knows, that might be possible.

hmm peculiar. I imagine they made some sort of a sound, to attract prey, to deter other prey. I don't know about the plant eating dinosaur's though, what sound would they make?
