About this sound

Caribou produce a characteristic clicking sound as they walk due to tendons snapping past the sesamoid bones in their foot. Recorded by the Fang Mountain Sound Station.

Why parks record sound

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
