Macaulay Library Animal Sound & Video Catalog
 What do the howler monkey, horned screamer, and common loon have in common, aside from being nicknames for Paris Hilton? They've been captured on audio (and some video) at the Cornell Ornithology Lab's Macaulay Library. Here you'll find assorted hums, moans, shrieks, and roars from over 3,000 species. Categories include courtship, stalking, territory defense, long distance communication, and marine mammals. We recommend the avant-garde stylings of the horned screamer; the sci-fi sounds of the Weddell seal, and the tortured rumblings of the American alligator. (Think one monster-sized stomach doing battle with an extra-large pepperoni pizza.) The ghostly ensembles of common loons and the strange emanations of the harp seal are sure to send chills down your spine. The gray wolf, on the other hand, can sound remarkably like Fido announcing the arrival of the mailman. So woof.
