thebrainscoop's video: The Animal Sound Library

The Museum für Naturkunde is home to one of the largest collections of animal sound recordings in the world. They're studied by scientists to learn about what animals live in an area, and what time(s) of year they're active, and in what abundance. One of the field recorders featured was initially created for use by agents in the CIA! (Scientists used it for spying, too; on birds.) ↓↓↓ Animal Sound Archive: https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en/forschung/sammlungen/animal-sound-archive Access the recordings here: http://www.animalsoundarchive.org/ More info through Google Cultural Institute: https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/exhibit/qAICHlSiuFZPJQ Research paper: Information obtained from long-term acoustic recordings: applying bioacoustic techniques for monitoring wetland birds during breeding season. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10336-016-1426-3 About Nationalpark Unteres Odertal: https://www.nationalpark-unteres-odertal.eu/en/ Contribute to Berlin's Nightingale project!
