Calls of the Wild

I have seen and heard some interesting animals lately. While we do not have the songs of the whales, we do have some animals that "sing" from time to time.


This is the snout of an animal that often "sings" by the light of the moon.

These eggs belong to an animal that is making its journey through Indiana. Its "song" tells us that spring is here. I saw two huge "parents" just last week in a field near the river on my way home from school.

Can you guess these animals? More importantly, can you guess their "songs"?
When you do, I will post a site where you can find instructions on how to make these animals through origami, much like Tammy Yee makes sea creatures.
