Still I could see the fact the animals in front could make a small burst of noise and it not effect them because the sound is traveling forward, if the herd behind is not calling and running away the ones facing the predator would not get effected because seemingly if true to thought all dinosaurs had sensitive hearing, correct. Also if you put your nails to a chalkboard it hurts everybody but you more right? So if the sound is going forward and your not the effected using the sound as a relatively weak confusion tacit is still a wise but temporary strategy of saving yourselves. I was saying not like a hundred or so but three to five standing at each other's side facing the carnivore causing a temporal shock to the carnivore making it try to focus again. But Furka I think the animal you are speaking of is Saurolophus or Charnosaurus, those are the only two species (TIKO) who are related to Parasaurolophus around or after it's time of not being extinct. |

I don't think you can direct sounds forward, at least not enough so that it has no effects in the other directions. Stuff like that happens only in mangas and things like those. |

That statement is incorrect. All fossil material from the genus predates KT by a few million years, unless they base it off some barely described, dubious remains found in late Maastrichtian rocks, which gives it a poor backup.
Real world is not filled with Pokemon, and no dinosaur could learn SonicBoom. The event you're describing wouldn't really be much different than a herd of modern day bovines trying to fend off the predator with threat display including the use of sound. Hadrosaur calls weren't, as you make a comparison, resembling scratching the chalkboard, they resembled more the sounds made by musical instruments that we humans invented - and were most probably used for communication within species or distinction of species within evolutionary family. Saurolophus is no closer to Parasaurolophus than other Saurolophines like Edmontosaurus. |

When having a fascination with prehistoric life is considered worthy of discrimination by mainstream society. The fact that a lot of paleo-merchandise is targeted towards small children doesn't exactly help the cause, as it gives many adults and teens the impression that prehistoric animals are babyish and lame.

The fact that i upgraded to a Google+ account just to teach that Cryolophosaurus is more slender than originally thought because they wouldn't look at more then just wikipedia(i assume) |

I always thought Cryo was unusually stocky for a dilophosaur. |

The bulky Cryolophosaurus is outdate right now. If I'm not wrong, those restoration come from the age which this animal was classed with something like Allosauroid or Megalosauroid(not sure about this part though. Correct me if I'm wrong. )

The Funny part is, that's the Clip that the person was saying was inaccurate. And the Bulk was from it being classified as a Tetanurea |

People who think that just because we don't know precisely how most dinosaurs looked or behaved, that means they should be allowed to be depicted in any way desired. This obviously is not the case, a good paleo-artist incorporates evidence from the fossil record and fills in the gaps with what we know about animals living on our planet today, rather than letting his imagination run amok and making up all sorts of implausible speculations. Note that I'm talking exclusively about scientific reconstructions, I give little concern as to how dinosaurs are depicted in purely artistic restorations. |

Sorry about yet another double post in this topic, but even more annoying to me than people who don't think dinosaurs existed due to their religious beliefs are people who don't believe they existed because of some fictional "law of normalcy" that prevents the existence of creatures such as dinosaurs. The world of today is teeming with bizarre and extraordinary life forms, what exactly makes dinosaurs so improbable? |

Reminds me of Westboro Baptist Church. (don't worry, this guy is mocking them) However, one person managed to e-mail them, and here's their reply:

It's annoying to me when creationists claim the existence of dinosaurs is improbable. Right, because The Great Flood totally isn't.
