Rahonavis was among my favorite Dinos that came out of Dinosaur Revolution. I always thought it was interesting they portrayed it being able to mimic sounds it hears like a Lyrebird or a Drongo (even if it having a wide vocal range is only speculative).
Cool little fella, and I love how Madagascar looks in this segment, very spooky. I know these guys didnt have a syrynx, so this mimicking may be unlikely, even though I do love its starling and mockingbird like behaviour. But I mean, hadrosaurs and sauropods both evolved features for various forms of vocalisations, so tho its speculative, but maybe these guys had something similar.
I’d argue that Dromaeosaurs and Troodons are more likely to have a larynx, perhaps shared by their common ancestor, since all 3 taxa share common ancestry.
When I was a little kid in the 90s, I think I heard about it when I got one of those sponge capsule toys, which had Rahonavis as one of the tiny sponge shapes--they claimed it was like "a prehistoric bald eagle" for some reason.
This actually makes me think... If dinosaurs are closely related to birds, does that mean some dinosaurs could mimic the human voice like ravens or parrots? That would be super cool XD
“Birds” like this couldn’t actually vocalize like this as proper vocal organs haven’t yet evolved in these animals. So, all they could do was blow air through their throat to come out their mouths as low rumbles and booms similar to the Eurasian bittern, ratites and ostriches. So, no. Dinosaurs couldn’t roar or chirp like modern-day animals. Technically, the most you would hear would be mammals, amphibians and insects, but there would also be the occasional rumble, boom, or below from the dinosaurs living in the forests, plains, or what have you. Besides, reptiles don’t roar. Blame early monster movies like King Kong and Godzilla for that misconception. And, subsequently, Jurassic Park for every other misconception about these types of animals. But don’t let that bring you down. Dinosaurs were still some of the most dangerous, terrifying, and awesome animals to ever roam this earth.
I mean not really. I think the skull might be a bit shrinkwrapped but I think they were trying to get a more bird like look. I dont know how the behaviour is 'nasty', but ok. And the feathers placement seems fine. Probably should have more feathers on its face, but that's only inferred from fairly distantly related species
@@jaisanatanrashtra7035 that's not that unrealistic. If it can mimic it can surely do that. Buuut, its more likely it just happened to make the noise the frogs make

@@_callio but we can infer from close relatives and some prehistoric avians that did have preserved throats.

Me to the rahonavis looks extremely cute
oh boy i sure have good news for you
I really love the way it mimics other animal noises combined with its own vocals.
Yeah it is bizzare
@@SternaRegnixTube I believe some birds are known to do that in real-life
He is lyrebird
2:04 I love that little gesture of being surprised about something, this Rahonavis was sure in a hell of a ride lol

That Majungasaurus just stepped on the Rapetosaur’s dung though...
@Ayshaantoinedaunte Thomas Those are Baobab fruits

It's funny how it looked at 2:05 😆😆 it was like, "oh shit"
This was my first time I've ever heard about Rahonavis when I was a child

You know? At that time our country India and Madagascar was joined so closely at that time indo madgascan dinosaurs roam freely in India
0:10 Torvosaurus sound
This was always my favorite episode

Relative of Bird
Closely related

Reminds me of a Lyrebird, which can also mimic other noises

When the rapetosaurus herd came along : It was time for rahonavis to leave. He had seen everything
Me too it looks extremely cute
It be Prehistoric mockingbird.
I really feel like this dinosaur still exists for some reason...
Birds are dinosaurs so i guess
No they're not, for example, pterodactyls are technically not dinosaurs
@@wolfzsuckslolno such thing as pterodactyls they’re called pterosaurs
The best impressive prehistoric mockingbird in the prehistoric time of the dinosaurs
Woah, that is wicked!
Heard about the recent discovery of the Rahonavis relative Overoraptor?
Yes i did. they are sister taxons.
Rahonavis is dino to Madagascar🇲🇬
This actually makes me think...

IF?
Birds are not only closely related to dinosaurs, they are dinosaurs, living dinosaurs.
@Mysticdragonboythehelpful no, all birds are
Hey, Dinosaur Revolution full sound track has dropped!! Over at Earthsonix
There’s a theory that falcatakely is rahonavis because the skull of falcatakely matches the rahonavis body perfectly

Anyone here in 2021?
He's baby.
I hate watching those babies getting eaten. It gives me slight flashbacks to the Walking with Beasts Gastornis Egg scene.
a dino parrot
Its like species of extinct sound copying birds
Something that confuses me is whether rahonavis is a paravian dinosaur or if it is a dromeosaur.
I'm pretty sure currently its classed as a dromaeosaur, this may have changed, but not sure
An unenlagiine. There's an upcoming paper that will look into whether it could fly or not and maybe also talk about if it was an unenlagiine or not.
@@riamus7258 When is that paper gonna be published?
@@alioramus1637 no idea, but the journal it's gonna be published in usually published its papers on Tuesday, so there is that.
Dino wody Walker
Which is it more related to? Micro-raptor or archaeopteryx
I’d say archaeopteryx
And i voe to Madagascar

How accurate is this rahonavis
Im talking about appearance and behavior

Highly Shrinkwrapped and nasty behaviour also feather placement looks absurd 😂

Iirc, the feathering is based on a real bird, just like they did with their Tragopan Gigant.
@@flightlesslord2688 the behaviour is nasty becoz he is plotting a plan like a human to get those baby Theropods eaten by monster frog
