Reptiles are different from mammals,
the two major ways are the structure of their skulls and reptiles do not have
hair like mammals.
Reptiles produce sound in a variety
of ways. Crocodiles produce sound using their larynx. Snakes produce sound
by moving air through their mouths or noses, shaking their tail, or by scraping
scales on the body together. Dinosaurs could have possibly created sound
by oscillating cartilage in their throats or possibly by blowing air past
internal nares at the back of their mouths.
Reptiles that can hear, hear through
a single vibrating bone in the middle ear which transfers vibrations to the
inner ear.
