Hi Everyone, Thought you might like to check out the following website that has recorded animal sounds. Heard about it on NPR last year....
<http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=7>Weekend Edition - Saturday, June 11, 2005 · The Web site Bzzzpeek.com records onomatopoetic animal sounds ("Moo" or "Ribbet") as children from all over the world express them. Interpretations of animal sounds differ from country to country, because the onomatopoeia of languages differs. Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek talk about the site they created. Have fun!
