Sinister sound of Tyrannosaurus Rex heard for first time in 66 million years

The fearsome roar of Tyrannosaurus Rex as portrayed in film has left many a cinema-goer quaking in their seat.

But new research suggests the king of the dinosaurs made a far more sinister sound.

For a new BBC documentary, naturalist Chris Packham visited Julia Clarke, professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the University of Texas, to test out a the theory that dinosaurs actually sounded more like birds and reptiles, than today’s predatory mammals.

“The most chilling noises in the natural world today come from predators, the howl of the wolf, the roar of the tiger, but experts now doubt that T-Rex sounded anything like them,” said Packham.

This is roughly as plausible as the evolutionists’ explanation as to how red blood cells and soft tissue remain fresh, intact and pliable for 68 million years.

T-Rex sounded like a chirping bird? Must have been the gay T-Rex which died out 6 million years ago because it couldn’t propagate the species.

It sounds like the roar of the dinosaurs was more like the "brown note."

T-Rex died out 40 years ago because he let Gloria Jones drive.

It sounded how it sounded. It wasn’t “sinister” since there were no humans around to say “Hey, Og, did you hear that? Dude, that’s freaking sinister! Am I right? Think it was a T Rex?”

I f__king love science!!!!!

So, are they suggesting that the T-Rex, as an expression of Power and Dominance, “Tweeted”?

I heard that the Blair Witch, Bell Witch, and Bigfoot are all suing. Because they might run into her, they’re all now afraid to go into the woods.

One of the most feared sounds in the primordial jungle:

(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee)
(Tweet tweet tweet tweet)

He rocks even the tree-tops all the day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singin’ his song
All the little birds on Jay Bird Street
Love to hear the Tyrannosaurus Rex go tweet tweet tweet
