Well, its an interesting topic. But ANIMAL is a generic term. Are birds included in your projects?

Dear Bhagirath,

Thank you for your response and interest. This is a project I am defining on my own (no external funding), and by the animal I mean either emotions of a specific species,  separating one type/group of animals from the rest or even detecting a certain kind of animal among the rest of the species.

It is essential that all the recordings are conducted within a standard condition (distance, sample rate, ...) surrounding noise should not be very high but its can exist in the recording.

By the way, did not have any projects on animal voices. As I mentioned earlier I have experience on the sound of mechanical or ignition system sound as well as vocal music.

The Bird Audio Detection project may be of interest, although the aim is detection rather than identification. The dataset has 17000 recordings tagged as either containing or not containing birds. The survey paper reviews the most common methodologies.

Dear Douglas,

Thank you very much for your message and the link provided. Surely it is a valuable dataset. It is a good start and basic dataset for my work.
