    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

      bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.

      so it’s a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.

        If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.

        Idk man there are some birds that don’t even sound like birds.

        Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it’s beak.

      I think i read somewhere that velociraptors were about as smart as a dog. Convergent evolution, because both are group-hunting predators.

        So are dolphins (group hunting predators). Pretty sure they rank a lot higher than a dog on the intelligence scale.

          But they rank lower on the good boy scale so it evens out
