It would never even have crossed its mind that, 120 million or so years later, scientists would be peering intensely up its clacker. However, that's precisely what scientists did, publishing in 2021 an exquisitely detailed description of a non-avian dinosaur's cloaca: the catch-all hole used for peeing, pooping, mating, and laying eggs.
