Wow, what a thought if THAT were true for dinosaurs too!  I can just picture
a quiet day in cretaceous North America being ripped asunder by the sudden
large hooting of a sociable Ornithomimosaur, causing the whole family to run
round in a riotous fashian.  It'd certainly estrange them from the mammal
analogy in things like Walking with... and Jurassic Park, et al.
