Yeah, what he said:
"I'm sure as heck not getting involved in this spat, but:"

I've got another reply to add to "That would be the first ever recorded vocal communication in reptiles."

Geckos.

The first time I heard tokay geckos calling in Southeast Asia, I knew right away how all geckos got their name. That particular species has a call that sounds just like their Latin name: Gecko gecko (although, if you listen for long enough, it can also sound like 'tokay tokay').
