Did dinosaurs have ears

Verified answer

In a word, no, but scientists can make educated guesses. The closest living relatives of the dinosaurs are crocodilians and birds, and we can look to the ways they vocalize to give us a hint.

Alligators and crocodiles use their larynxes to communicate—they’ll hiss, groan, and yes, roar (here’s a compilation of their sounds). Dinosaurs might have had larynxes, but since those don’t fossilize, it’s impossible to know for sure. Birds, meanwhile, use an organ called a syrinx, which seems to have evolved after dinosaurs. That might indicate that dinos couldn’t vocalize at all, which would be a bummer.

However, there’s also a possibility that they evolved a unique way to vocalize. For example, based on studying their skulls and inner ears, some have theorized that hadrosaurs used their crests to bellow at each other.

So, they probably didn’t roar, but bellowing can be pretty cool too, right?

Actually, dinosaurs had not larynxes, but a syrinx. A syrinx is found in birds and it breathes in air to make a specific sound. As for the larynx, it takes more muscles to operate and breathes out air to make a sound. The truth is, since dinosaurs had syrinxes, they couldn't roar at all! Take something like a velociraptor for example. In the wild it would probably puff up its chest and make something like a deep, bellowing sound to attract females. As for the tyrannosaurus, it didn't make sounds at all, but a long, loud vibration from its chest!

Isn't it possible that today's crocodiles have evolved much differently making it erroneous to speculate based on what is deduced from todays specie?

jkjk ,We do not know if other dinosaurs are capable of vocalization or not, and no idea what they may sound like if they do. In general bigger animals have lower pitched voices. So dinosaurs may have low pitched noises like bulls, elephants or whales but not high pitched sounds like cats, dogs, mice, birds or dolphins.

no but according to the animals today, we can think of chickens as feathered dinosaurs, giraffes as sauropods (but a girrafe is smaller)

dinosaurs that evolved into these animals that we can see today

(but dinosaurs already are extinct when the animals we see today evolved)

As a scientist it's clear that humans would'nt know what dinosaurs sound like, the giant breed of tortoise which has the ability to live up to 100 years and some have been recorded to live up to 10 000years if the tortoise is well taken cared of🐢
