Walruses can whistle!

If you were handed three photos of a cheetah, an ostrich, and a porcupine, you could tell the difference. But what if you were only given the sounds these animals make?

A single animal can produce dozens of different sounds for different purposes. Here, we provide an example of one call from each.
