          The thing I dislike about this is that Schmetterling actually sounds the most sweet out of the languages used (from the video probably being referenced), if you say it normally.

          Funny thing is that the “Schmetter” is a product when making butter. So the butterfly and Schmetterling share the same naming origin

    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?

      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.

      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.

      They are basically the sistergroup. When the term dinosaur was coined, the most distantly related dinosaurs were taken as reference and everything and everything “between” them was defined as a dinosaur. Pterodactyls weren’t known back than, that’s basically the reason they are excluded

        Please do not listen to this Podcast!!! You will loose all your friends and family by dumping a metric fuckton of completely out-of-context dino-facts all over your social life.

        Trust me, its not gonna be pretty. I listened to a few episodes and little plastic dinosaurs started appearing in our living room. Also my three-year-old started speaking in tongues (says my granny because apparently she doesn’t now what a Micropachycephalosaurus is)

        BE CAREFUL!

      Dinosaurs are currently defined as anything that descends from the most recent common ancestor of triceratops and the pigeon.

      Which, as others pointed out is mostly due to dinosaurs being originally defined before we found the first pterodactyl.

      If you want to refer to dinosaurs and pterodactyls, you could use avemetatarsalians (anything more closely related to birds than crocs) or ornithodirans (dinosaurs + pterosauromorphs).

      Also fun is that there’s a number of crocodillians that look suspiciously dinosaur- like, like Shuvosaurus. Convergent evolution is wild.

        That’s bird sounds slowed down, so might be a good approximation. The article does mentions bird-like vocalization. And it sounds terrifying.

    This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.

        I mean… I 3d printed the model in TPU… it kinda sounded like a squeaky fart.

        Granted, I’m not a scientist, and I’m pretty sure the sound is going to be affected by material and stuff. but it sounded like a squeaky fart.

            naw. The mummy vocal chords are creepy.

            Dino vocal…er… do they even have vocal chords?.. My nephew was in a dinosaur phase. (still is, to be honest. there’s 3 phases I never grew out of, if I’m any indication- dinosaurs, jumping-in-mud-puddles and robots. despite my SiL’s protests… I think I’m a great influence.)
