An ongoing study utilizing the most recent scientific data on mammalian/reptilian vocalizations. Sounds are produced by myself and digitally workshopped from modern mammals and reptiles. Using modulated proportions, one can attempt to recreate the flow of sound, frequency, and volume of each animal. Much study is required for each particular species, and often several phases are trashed due to general unlikelihood. The final results are based on acute representations of what sounds would be most comfortable and base-line for each animal.

Method: Using a similar, but altered model to Julia Clarke's Mesozoic Tyrannosaurus Rex vocal rendition, which included: combining the booming call of the Eurasian bittern with the growling vocalizations of the Chinese crocodile, and then scaling it up to T-rex’s estimated size (about 12 meters or 40 feet long), where they got was an ominous low rumble.
