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 todays 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.

I don't think I've ever known or ever seen a human being in my life who makes more bizarre faces than that woman. She is completely and utterly out of her mind. And the left wanted her as leader of the free world. Every person of rational mind should step back and think about that. That's how effed up the left is.
