Understanding Dinosaur Sounds

The video explores the sounds dinosaurs might have made, contrasting the iconic T. rex roar from Jurassic Park with more realistic possibilities. It discusses the vocal organs of birds and crocodilians, the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, and the challenges of fossilizing soft tissues like vocal organs.
