ANIMAL NOISES

It's curious to notice that people, in different parts of the world, simply do not hear the same noise when a dog 'woofs 'or a duck' quacks'.

In France dogs go 'ouah, ouah' and ducks go 'coin, coin'.

What do people say to mimic the rooster cry?

English: cock-a-doodle doo French: cocorico Spanish: kikiriki

Portuguese: corococó German: kikeriki Italian: chicchirichi

Danish: kykyliky Dutch: kukeleku Russian: kukareku

Here are three dogs, they don't make the same noise.

little dog: yap, yap middle sized dog: woof, woof big dog: bow wow

The French frog says: coa coa the English one: croak

and in the USA it says: ribbit

a horse says neigh a cow says moo a sheep says baa a goat says naa

a crane says clang a camel says grumph an elephant says baraag

pretty boy gobble gobble
