Hey, Flora. This is Gwen Dylan Moore.

Gwen called us with a question about an iconic animal sound.

The roar they use in Jurassic Park sounds like no other animal that I can come up with.

And I was wondering where the dinosaur roar comes from.

Hello? Hello? Yeah, he's a puppy, and he got really excited and peed on the floor, and it's been really fun 15 minutes.

Hey, Walter, hush!

What kind of dog is Walter?

He's a miniature dog, so he's like teeny tiny.

Are you a big Jurassic Park fan?

I mean the older like movies from the 90s and stuff like that.

What about the newer movies? Have you seen Jurassic

world? I actually it's funny too because the day that I called and left the

message was when I saw the trailer for the first time and then I just finally watched the movie last night.

All right, let me make sure we have our roar straight.

You called about Jurassic World.

Is this the roar in question? Yes, that's it. The one where like it has that super high pitch almost just scream slash building falling down sound.

How do you think they make the roar sound?

Do you have a hypothesis?

I don't know.

That's where the question came from. But in in my dream world I think it would just be really cool to find out this was completely man-made

maybe with some like pots and pans like when you rattle a cookie sheet or something.
