For me, watching wildlife videos is a legitimate hobby and pastime. There is nothing quite like coming home after a long day of work and finding out how wildlife would save us all in the event of zombie apocalypse. But some of my favorite videos focus on the weird noises animals make animals that Im only used to seeing in still photos, where they can maintain their quiet dignity. Have a listen to the following animals who make weird (and, in most cases, weirdly cute) noises.
Baby Harp Seals
Baby harp seals already have a firm grasp on their cute moniker by virtue of being wiggly puffballs with eyes. Their primary purpose at this stage of their lives is to sleep, eat, and, presumably, make ridiculously adorable sounds.

Desert Rain Frog (world's cutest frog)
Sloth
Porcupine
American woodcock
Which call is your favorite? Sound off (see what I did there?) in the comments, or check out more animal noises! http://blog.nwf.org/2013/10/which-animal-has-the-loudest-roar/

(15,806 posts)is the elk's "bugle". I'm guessing they call it "bugle" because "screeching chirp" would be inconsistent with the animal's large and rather magnificent presence . . .
