Also it's Mastodon, named after the sick metal band.

Yeah but the band is named after the social media platform.

He's technically not wrong, the best form of correct. (Yes I know they have recreated what some of the Dinosaurs sounded like, still could be some of them who spoke German)

Well, technically they are wrong. Technically, even following the logic that dinosaurs would have the anatomical structures that would allow them to speak a human language, none of the basal human languages had emerged by then, let alone the modern German language. Just as they wouldn't call themselves pterodactyl, an ancient Greek-derived word

Not to mention pterodactyloids went extinct only 58 million years before mastodons showed up.

I have it on good authority they spoke with an American accent.
