Animal vocalizations

Animal vocalizations are sounds produced by animals to communicate, attract mates, establish territory, or alert others to danger. These sounds can include calls, screams, whistles, or songs and vary greatly among species. They are generated using specialized vocal organs, like the larynx in mammals or syrinx in birds, allowing precise control over pitch, tone, and frequency. Vocalizations serve important social functions and can convey emotions, intentions, or information. Studying them helps us understand animal behavior, social structures, and how animals interact within their environments.
