Vocalization?

• by Boleyn moderator

  Has anyone any idea what animal makes this sound?

  I'd say red river hogs.

  Interesting. The whimpering sounds like puppies but the grunting sounds like red river hogs. Do baby hogs whimper? Curious...

  The whimpering sounds almost chimp or monkey-like! And the grunts sound more like growling to me. Red river hogs squeal and their grunts while foraging for example do not sound so aggressive as that but maybe they are capable of doing so. I'd say we keep this as unknown animal(s) for now.

  Of course, it can be chimps (wouldn't be my first choice, but I don't know much about vocalization). But I also find it similar to some hog vocalizations and it's also likely, because the red river hogs are actually in that video ( ACP000fb77 and ACP000fb79 ).
