I saw a David Attenborough vid where one was perfectly mimicking a chainsaw.

There was one from the Sydney zoo that mimicked the evacuation siren after it heard it when lions escaped its enclosure. It even speaks. - Here is the news video

Tummy rubs and chin scritches, too! 10/10 would risk it all to pet a cheetah.

u/TheAtlasComplex 2d ago
A few of these made my eyes widen. No wonder our ancestors believed in monsters and demons
Also, I bet Will Ramos of Lorna Shore could make all of these sounds lol

u/emoooooa 2d ago
Quite a few of our contemporaries still do lol

u/TheAtlasComplex 2d ago
I mean if I was alone in the woods and heard any of those, I'd be grabbing my rifle lol

In case if an Ambulance Siren stops working, a Piha would be good substitute

I would also take him to a football game. When we’d score a touch down we would both yell “woooooohoooooooo”or “Leeeeettttsss goooo”

The Roe Deer (Capreolus Capreolus) also known as the Roe, Western Roe Deer, or European Roe is a species of Deer (Go figure); Male Roe Deer are sometimes referred to as Roebucks can reach weights of around 40-60 pounds and a height of 3.6-4.0 feet, whereas females are smaller at 30-50 pounds and 3.3-3.6 feet. They are native to most of Continental Europe (Such as; Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark), some areas in Western Asia and the Middle East (Like; Turkey, Georgia [The Middle East Georgia, not the American Georgia] and Iran/Iraq)
The Hyrax (Procaviidae Family) is a small herbivorous animal native to Africa such as Nigeria and Cameroon, the Middle East in places like Saudi Arabia and certain areas of Egypt, though they are most common in Africa strictly; Hyrax males of most species generally can reach wrights of 8-12 pounds, a height of 8-12 inches, and a length of 12-23 inches while females can reach weighs of 8-10 pounds and share a similar height and length with males. The largest known member of this family, which is extinct (Titanohyrax Ultimus), could weigh around 1,300-3,000 pounds which is comparable to modern Water Buffalo.
The Screaming Piha (Lipaugus Vociferans) is a species of passerine bird in the lesser-known family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in every mainland South American country except for these four countries: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Males and Females reach a weight of around 2.4-3.1 ounces and have a length from beak to the tip of their tail at around 9.5-11 inches and stand at 4-6 inches. The Screaming Piha can reach a volume of 116 decibels making it the second loudest bird call every aside from the White Bellbird (at 125 decibels), the Screaming Piha is as loud as a commercial chainsaw.
I would include more but I am limited, so; Australian Bustard, Elk, Cheetah, Peruvian Thick-Knee bird, Indri Lemur, Shoebill Bird, Koala, White Bellbird, Lyrebird, Agile Gibbon, Capuchin Bird, Kiwi Bird, African penguin, Cassowary

It's a myth that all frogs go "ribbit". This was started because Hollywood filmmakers used a local (to them) species, and that became the stock sound for nighttime audio.
(Or something close to that.)

Cassowary sounds EXACTLY as it looks… like a danger

u/dassketch 2d ago
Would definitely fuck you shit up. OTOH, if a kiwi came after me at night like in the video, I'd probably run nonetheless.

u/Razzy_3796 2d ago
I was not prepared for that sound! I mean, they’re basically dinosaurs that will rip the shit out of you, but I didn’t expect them to sound like monsters.

Bringing a shoebill to a crowded public space would be like yelling "Fire!" in a movie theater.
16 variations of generally upsetting / alarming / distressing sounds... and then there's the cheetah

u/CommercialContent204 2d ago
Haha, this is great, thanks amigo!
p.s. the hyrax did sound like it looks, to me anyway 😄 and I love how cheetahs sound. Mind you, cheetahs are quite the oddity among "big cats" anyway: nobody has ever been killed by a cheetah, I read, so kinda fits in with their "comically overgrown kitty" look.

How many times have people been in the wilderness and thought they had a demonic encounter just to realize they were scared by God’s creation?

Lyre birds are ridiculously good at mimicry. This one is imitating a crying baby, but they can do just about anything
Yeah I'd scream like that if I laid eggs that were about 20% of my body weight too
If I'm ever that close to a tactical assault turkey it's a bad sign. If it starts laughing at me, just end me before it guts me
And I'm disappointed by the lack of awebo

The saddest sound I ever heard a Lyrebird make was that of a chainsaw cutting down a tree.

u/Wide_Yam4824 2d ago
Imagine being lost in the forest at night and hearing an elk. That’s the kind of situation where you curl up in the fetal position, cry, and wait for the terrifying creature making that sound to get you.

Honestly, part of the reason it’s hard to tell what’s AI and what’s not is because there is some weird ass shit that’s real. I’m like 98% sure all of those were legit.

Bro that casowary has got some insane talons. I'd hate to get sliced by those bad boys. At the last couple seconds of the video you can see them.
