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.
You mean like Terror Birds?
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
