Bioacoustics is the science of animal sounds and this is your introduction to the subject. What does a koala sound like? Is that sound a jaguar or a leopard?
Challenge yourself to become a bioacoustic expert and learn all the noises off by heart - there are around 100 different sounds at launch.
Great as a dinner party game. It is harder than you might think to get a good score as some animals don't make the noise you might expect and you need to be an bioacoustic expert to tell some animal sounds apart.
If you guess incorrectly Alexa will play the sound for the animal you guessed so you can hear the difference. She may even be generous and give you points if your incorrect guess was close enough!
Alternatively you can just say the name of an animal and Alexa will play the sound it makes - good practice for the game, or just for fun.
Ask for a demo and hear a random selection of animals.
