Can we figure out animal behaviour by listening to the sounds they produce? In this episode, you'll hear from scientists who listen closely to wildlife ranging from large mammals to insects. Wild Frequencies is a three-part mini-series by Mongabay-India in which wildlife researchers from India share their stories of sounds from the animal world. They decode those wild frequencies for us, one song, one howl, and one chirp at a time. Follow Everything Environment by Mongabay India for more episodes.
