Animal Sound Riddles

This is a quiz where you listen to animal sounds and guess the animal’s name.
Even kids who don’t really like animals or don’t know much about them have probably heard some of these before, right? Let’s ramp up the difficulty step by step, using sounds from a wide range of animals—from familiar ones like dogs and cats, to animals you only see at the zoo, and even those you’ve only seen on TV or in picture books.
If it’s too hard with sound alone, it’s a good idea to give a little hint.
There are plenty of examples on video sites, so try searching for them.
