Have you heard ants stridulating...
hippos and fish 'talking' underwater...
bats echolocating ...or
the contact rumble of an elephant?

including humans. Although our ears hear sound, we do not necessarily
pick up the more subtle vocalizations - even in our own backyard.
These special sounds of the bush are brought to life through a set
of microphones and headsets and suddenly you realize you have been
missing a remarkable nature experience!
What does the whooping call of a hyena mean, or the howl of a jackal,
or roar of a lion?
How do birds or frogs get their messages across
when they are all calling at the same time? Every living creature
has a sound signature, but how do we interpret it?
