Because we rely so heavily on our sense of sight, humans have always been afraid of the night. We hear unknown sounds and our imagination runs wild. In reality, most of the sounds out there are created by harmless animals. Learning to recognize these sounds will help us to feel more comfortable when we are out at night in nature.
Click on the animal sound and listen closely. Close your eyes if it will help you to imagine being out in the forest at night. Click on the answer bar to find out about the animal that made the sound.
We invite you to choose a safe nature park nearby, go with a parent and listen to nature at night. Sit quietly for a few minutes and listen for these and other sounds and see if you can remember who or what makes them.
