Overview
Discover the musical talents of 14 animals, from singing humpback whales to howling wolves.
Travel across the seven continents to discover how nature’s best musicians use their voices or bodies to create a symphony. On the world stage, gibbons love to break into song at sunrise, while humpback whales prefer to perform the same tune for an entire day. Wolves enjoy choir singing before setting off to hunt, and Chinese torrent frogs are excellent at carrying a tune without ever producing two identical notes. Learn about the characteristics, habitats, and behaviours of 14 animal virtuosos from around the world.
Listen to the recordings of the sounds produced by each animal for free at www.thesecretmountain.com/animalmusicians.
