Do Dinosaurs cry?

Those are far cries from mammalian screams. According to the new research, dino sounds may be what scientists call “closed-mouth vocalizations.” Unlike the high-pitched chirps and tweets from the open beaks of songbirds, the closed-mouth sounds are low, throaty whooshes of air.

Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive. These, and all other non-avian dinosaurs became extinct at least 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period.

Do dogs cry?

No. While canines express needs and wants vocally, there is no scientific evidence proving that dogs, or any other animals, in fact, actually produce tears as a response to what they're feeling. We seem to be the only species capable of breaking into emotional tears.

Do scientists know what dinosaurs sounded like?

Probably not, especially since most "dinosaur" sounds you hear are actually mash-ups of vocalizations made by different modern animals. Since the organs they would have used to vocalize with did not fossilize, however, we may never know what kind of sounds they made (if they were able to make them at all).

Why did dinosaurs go extinct?

Evidence suggests an asteroid impact was the main culprit. Volcanic eruptions that caused large-scale climate change may also have been involved, together with more gradual changes to Earth's climate that happened over millions of years.

It's also been said that the T-Rex's short arms may have actually been wings - as if there haven't been enough memes about their little arms. So, the feather theory states that the arms of the T-Rex might actually have been inverted, like that of an ostrich.
