Superb POV and capture! :) I would imagine they would make the same sound as an elephant, but much louder! ;)

WOW! This rocks! Prehistoric bones are so fascinating, and the whole mastadon roar thing reminds me of research done with the bones of crested dinosaurs. Apparently, their extravagant head-gear served to amplify sounds. A bunch of researchers analyzed the bone crests and discovered that they are not only hollow, but also connected to the nasal cavity. Air forced into the crests and back out, seems to have created a distinct "flatulent pvc pipe" sort of sound. This has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was a nice, useless tidbit to share. I think I made that association because of the mastadon-roar thing. I do suspect they might have sounded like contemporary elephants...somewhat. But then, knowing Nature and Nature's odd sense of humor, they probably squeaked. One never knows. Great shot and I love the POV.

Chipka, I've studied archaeology, and know what you are talking about the sound in those dinosaurs. There is a lot we do not know, but then we always have Jurassic Park to help us with that. ;c)

WOW....Fantastic image my friend, this is really a precious capture, loved it!

P. S. I assume they could "roar." I always assumed they would 'trumpet'!!! Or maybe we are both wrong and they in fact 'CHIRPED'!

Stunning beastie!

Excellent picture.

Such a great pic of this piece of equipment!!

Love this capture hon and can u imagine if they were here today wow awesome and i love Jurassic Park movies.
