Just for fun, here's the full version of my current profile #paleoart picture: a bellowing Tyrannosaurus. Studies of croc and bird vocalisation show that archosaurs often make deep, loud sounds by vocalising into inflated resonating chambers in their throats while their mouths are closed. It's thought non-bird dinosaurs may have done the same, and this is what T. rex might have looked like doing it. More details: http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-silent-dinosaur-hypothesis.html

@markwitton I kinda wish we got to hear that in PhP. From what I remember, the rex in PhP seem to have the typical roar and I was hoping for something different.

@markwitton I've witnessed alligator behavior in a large natural area (5000 acres) for the last 20 years. Sometimes it's hard to determine cause and effect during social interactions because of the large areas involved, and the gators' perception of the enviroment is different than mine. I've caught various examples of their behavior on video. This one shows the beginning and end of a bellow chorus: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/creekfield_bellow_14.mp4 or here for description: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/gatr2h.html#gator2013a In this 2nd example, a female gator with new hatchlings (a week or so old) began bellowing, then left the pod for a while: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/momgator_082822.mp4 with description on my page here: https://www.rickubis.com/rick/gatr5i.html#gator2022a Since I work at that park (Brazos Bend State Park) as guide, sometimes I interpret such behaviors as they happen for visitors at the scene-so may miss a photo op. I can read alligator posture/movement enough to know when they might be doing something (so begin filming), but I'm never 100 percent sure what it will be. Sometimes I get lucky. #alligators #archosaurbehavior #crocodilians

@rickubis Thanks for these. It must be so awesome to see alligators enough to start predicting their behaviour!

@markwitton I've been very, very lucky to volunteer at Brazos Bend State Park for over 20 years, at least once every week (I have missed a few). This page has a table with links to all my "alligator pages", going all the way back. Tech and equipment have changed over time, so the newer stuff looks better. You may enjoy. :-) http://www.rickubis.com/rick/gatr.html #alligators #crocodilians #archosaurs #allligatorbehavior
