Vocabulary: Animal sounds/cries - English lesson

This lesson will NOT consist in copying the excellent ones already on this site, giving you the 'noise' made by the different  aminals. My aim here, is to have you learn the words corresponding to these noises, so that eventually, you know them! 

Some animals live in our homes, others live in farms, some others are in nature, in our parts of the world, or elsewhere... Wherever they live, they communicate ... 'speak' and understand one another ...

Dogs bark	Cats mew	Horses neigh/whinny	Bees hum/buzz
		'
Cows low/moo	Sheep bleat	Ducks quack	Pigs grunt
Hens cackle	Roosters crow	Mice squeak	Frogs croak

The following ones are not easily tamed... Is it a reason to call them 'wild'?   

Lions roar	Elephants trumpet	Snakes hiss
Camels grunt	Foxes yelp/yap	Woolves howl

'But if you tame me, we'll need each other. You'll be the only boy in the world for me and I'll be the only fox in the world for you... Please, tame me!'

Le Petit Prince by Saint Exupéry.

... and now, READY for the test ! Force and courage !
