corne creuse

Portuguese translation: chifre oco

Science (general) / Dinossauros
French term or phrase: corne creuse
Cette corne creuse mesure environ 1,8 mètre, et même plus !

Avec cette sorte d’instrument à vent, l’animal peut faire résonner des sons sur une très grande distance (pour prévenir le troupeau de l’arrivée d’un prédateur, par exemple). Cet attribut semble aussi lui servir de signal sexuel. D’ailleurs, mâles et femelles auraient des crêtes différentes.
