Could Parasaurolophus Really Make Sounds?
Most likely, yes! The long head crest of Parasaurolophus was hollow and full of tubes connected to its nose. When air flowed through, it could probably make deep, booming calls – a lot like a wind instrument. Scientists even recreated the crest on a computer to figure out how it might have sounded: like a low, rumbling horn. These dinos probably used their calls to communicate with their herd. Of course, no actual music notes came out!
Fun Ideas for Your Finished Music Dino
