Bear Sounds

Experience all the amazing ways that different bears communicate with these cool bear sounds!
Since bears are typically quiet animals, it is rare to hear a bear vocalize, even if you are fortunate (or unfortunate!) enough to see one in the wild, at a wildlife refuge, or in a zoo. Because bear vocalizations are so rare, the sounds in this app are very special and a great way to learn!

Bears, including grizzly bears, black bears, brown bears and even polar bears, make a variety of noises. These sounds include groans, tongue clicks, moans and huffs (made by expelling air loudly). Scary roars like you see in the movies are quite rare! A bear’s more subtle noises, such as tongue clicks and grunts, are typically used to communicate with cubs or other bears in a friendly manner, while huffing may indicate fear and louder moans or bellows are typically used only for intense situations when the bear is fighting or defending its cubs.
