An animal song is a repetitive
vocal utterance of higher animals such as
birds and
whales. The term is not clearly defined in the
scientific literature, though most investigators agree that
an animal
song must have
syllabic diversity and temporal regularity akin to the
repetitive and transformative patterns which define human
music.
Motifs and different categories of sound syllables set animal song apart from repetitive animal vocalizations.
In some cases such as birds and cetaceans, the songs are learned from adults. Other mammals besides whales, such as canines and rodents are being studied for evidence of learned animal song.
