"Macaulay Library Catalog" that can listen to more than 65,000 animals



It is a wonderful site with sound clips of various birds of over 65,000 kinds of animals and movies about 18,000 kinds of animals.

The director of this site is a person named Greg Budney, which has become an enormous collection of videos recorded around the world. It seems to have been gathered and published for academic and research purposes, but it is good at sound quality, it is only internet if you can watch this thing free of charge just before the PC. It seems that the purpose is to have various people access by this low threshold.

Also, you can download free software called RavenViewer, for example, it is possible to visualize and display birds' barks in real time.

Access is from the following.

It is pretty interesting because it almost comes out when you enter the name of the animal you want to hear cry in the search window. In addition, there are quite a few things that last for about 5 minutes, so it seems likely that even if you let it flow into BGM as environmental sounds.
