Online Birds and Wildlife Sound Library

Beyond birdsong — the island's other voices

The Library also archives calls from Sri Lanka's other vocal wildlife — mammals, frogs and toads, and insects — recorded in the same forests, wetlands and gardens as the birds.

Mammals

Sri Lanka's forests and scrublands carry a distinctive mammal chorus alongside the birdsong — from the alarm barks of macaques and langurs moving through the canopy, to the booming calls of Sambar deer at dusk and the quiet nocturnal calls of civets and loris species. The Sri Lankan leopard, the island's apex predator, adds its own rasping saw-like call at dawn and dusk. Species with recordings online already show a photo and play inline below.
