Jurassic Bark

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Though we have spent hundreds of years imagining dinosaurs as reptilian roarers, our understanding of what dinos may have actually looked and sounded like has evolved. A new study published in Nature reveals that dinosaurs may have been far less aggressive, vocally speaking, eschewing gigantic roars for a much more subtle coo or a duck’s quack. Jeff and Anthony discuss all of the misinformation about dinosaurs, and how quacking would change their cultural appeal. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
