parasaurolophus call

[iFire13]

This is beautiful! Would you allow me to use this in a future animation of the animals? It's just what I need.

[MoneyR8]

incredible..

[subeso12]

I Luv Dinosaurs Thumbs Up If You Agree ! ;D

[dogdays6708]

God.... Imagine hiking up a trail and hearing that from behind you.

[MartenFerret]

@dogdays6708 You'd learn to deal. Hearing them would be a blessed thing, depending. I mean, if the sound was made to warn of approaching disaster (and assuming the creature didn't believe YOU were said disaster), you'd be grateful to hear it!

[MysticMama926]

me: mm im bored.

parasaurolophus: sup.

me: do that sound of urs.

parasaurolophus:y? my sound is for mating onlyyyyyyyyyyy.

me: STOP BEING A BUTTCRACK!

parasaurolophus: ugh fine:

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

- i stab parasaurolophus cuz im bored-

me: wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeee

[minerplus4]

imagine if dinosaurs were still on earth.......... ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!­!!! "WTF was that?!?!?!?!?, oh thank god its just adinosaur"

[Abominatrix650]

Brilliant! I should play this in a forest or swamp or other habitat filled with vegetation to see what it attracts!

[Runnerrmejor]

I love Parasaurolophus is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I'd love to buy one, awesome sounds btw

[MartenFerret]

@Runnerrmejor For me, I would forever dine on maiasaur meat, but, alas, lean pork must suffice.

[DecomposingBlasphemy]

i have no idea why but this video made me laugh really really really hard

[CurstSaden]

Sounds like a fog horn...or an elephant...very eerie...

[dogdays6708]

Wow sounds like something out of some monster movie

[NewMargaritaville]

like the bugling of elk aeons later

[MrBored999]

Gave me chills listening to this. 

[Wrathmont313]

O_O

[SandraFowler]

@tomthenomad Skull structure and the inner ear structure of the creatures. This is apparently meant to be how they would hear it as well.

[wombawombawomba]

@tomthenomad

pleasee could you try to find the science page and post it?

I' m so interested! Thought first it were a bluff, but I wanna know if they really did a test on the skull!

It's my favorite dinosaur!

[sovietsniper6669]

I appreciate the idea, however I doubt that the actual dinosaur sounded like this. It may have sounded similar, but the sounds given by the computer sound too inorganic. It sounds like the computer pulled up sounds that were similar from a database of musical instruments. Very exciting to see breakthroughs in palaeontology nonetheless

[Runnerrmejor]

REALLY?? omg awesome

[DylanofMD]

Dinosaurs

are big.

[TRBigBen]

Id like to hear the same methods applied to an animal we already know the call of so that i can see how accurate it is.

[Dinoscarex]

This is like the WOW signal!

[tomthenomad]

@Dinoscarex perhaps parasaurolophus astronauts from another galaxy were attempting to locate their cousins!!

[MikeD57s]

He sounds like a train and a bus!

[AviatorZER0]

a wind instrument like a horn that could emulate this would sell like hotcakes

[purplefrf]

Inceptionosaurus.

[grungefreak10]

It kind of reminds me of the voice of the Alien, Ra in the Stargate movie.

[malloryt19]

this is so cool. like so so cool. i can't get over how cool this is.

[melloncollieromance]

This is eerie!

[EddyScbr]

A parasaurolophus orchestra would have been a nice thing to listen to...

[ucbearcat19]

vuvuzela?

[johnhelvyakam]

Beautiful.

[xIegionx]

I heard that they used an actual skull recording to make the parasaurolophus sound in JP, but modified it some with grunts and such

[thewhack64]

man you should have seen my 5 year olds face,when after asking about the plastic model of this dinosaur.i was able to tell him all about it ,and then play this.class.

[lillixygirl]

Imagine a hundred or so of those at a time.

[Cubonedude]

Can you put the sound up for download please?

[Creaturelover18]

I magine heraing this up close to a real one, would really make our heads explode.

[Indigos8rboi]

wow thats cool!!! This was my favorite dinosaur growing up but Ive never seen any documentaries of the animal... So amazing to hear some of its calls over 65 millions after they went extinct!!! 5 stars! awesome!

[XxCronikxTrad39xX]

These are beautiful creatures. They make very unique sounds :) Love it.

[narbikjanet]

that is not the real call. the real call sounds like someone farted with a screaching

ending. not kidding...

[iFire13]

Very cool. If the beasts were still around today it would be eerie to hear them at night.

[iFire13]

@tomthenomad God is an amazing Creator.

[324425]

neat thing is that the crest on it's when studying it scientists found air ways and tubes when they forced air through them this is the same soound it made i saw that on a documentary its just so weird to here the EXACT sound these creatures made!!!!

[DarkDracorex]

That's just eerie. If I heard that in the middle of the night, I'd be scared out of my skin.

[luineff]

This really creeps me out... very eerie!

[skabrnja]

only 56% of the sound is known

[tubbytabla1]

Sounds like Hawkwind

[RapaxGuardian]

That sounds like sliding a heavy table on a hardwood floor! =O

[RFCHTO]

Actually, ALL the dinosaurs had nasal passages, not only hadrosaurids ;)

[robbertzzzzz]

No, they had not... Only a few hadrosaurids had these things ;)

[61btod]

Technically, all dinosaurs, in fact all vertebrate animals, have nasal passages. It's just that they're hyperextended and very complex in lambeosaurine hadrosaurs.

[robbertzzzzz]

But not all animals have nasal passages which they use to produce their sound. It may influence the sound, but is is not where the sound is created. And thát is my point.

[61btod]

That is a good point, but you making sound as if only hadrosaurs had nasal passages, PERIOD.

[Annokou]

@RFCHTO that may be true, but only the parasaurolophus species had elongated nasal passages for their bellowing sound used for mating calls, mating fights where the deepest/loudest won, and for pack location.

[mosura12]

so eerie, and, so beautiful

[FuzzyDuck]

I love this sound. So eerie. Like the elk of their era. I can imagine a misty Cretaceous morning, and hearing this lovely, but somewhat ominous, call.

[EVLWNS]

This sound was calculated by using a supercomputer to simulate the passage of air through a parasaurolophus skull, this is just one of a range of sounds those involved produced. However, one must take into account that the sounds parasaurolophus would have made were also determined by internal and external soft tissues (of which there are no known fossils), like our lips.

[aardvark445]

@EVLWNS

Funny, sounds less like a supercomputer and more like an old broken baritone saxophone.

[tomthenomad]

@EVLWNS what he said. :)

[GaryGlitter1]

Hey where'd you get this recording?

[Stevaloo5]

Of course. There are some mysteries that are still unexplainable (as far as I know)such as why saurchisian hiped carnivores evolve into birds while ornithischian hipped herbivores went extinct

[Stevaloo5]

i remeber seing the video clip of this!, it's a shame only hadrosaurs have the nasal passages tho :(

5/5 :D

[ullller]

This has no credibility what so ever.

[ShadowOfElectricity]

awesome
