Study on the cries of Jurassic crickets

British scientists say the cry of Jurassic crickets is simple, easy-listening and capable of spreading a long distance in the night.

This is the result of the study that came after scientists studied a cricket fossil, which originated in China, which was 165 million years old.

The fossil crickets, which have wings about 72cm, allow scientists to recreate their sound in an era that dinosaurs dominate on Earth.

According to scientists, the sound results of this ancient cricket 'may be the oldest documentary about a song in the Jurassic period'.

Scientist Fernando Montealegre-Zapata, of the University of Bristol, added: "The cries of this ancient cricket help us understand more about the previous world."

According to scientist Daniel Robert, an expert on the sound of living creatures, a simple cry can appeal to male crickets during the Jurassic period.

Mr. Robert said: 'The cries help other crickets to recognize the presence, location and quality of that cricket. This is a message that female crickets want to send to males. "

In addition, the cries of Jurassic crickets are not only used to appeal to heterosexual crickets, but are also used to warn of fellow humans about the risk of other attacking animals.
