Butynski on Hyrax calls

Here is a link by which you can readily listen to, and compare, the loud calls of 4 species of hyrax.
 
 
We will, soon, be adding more calls to this site.
 
The 'Ugalla hyrax' call mentioned below, which I guess is a tree hyrax, sounds very different from that of D. arboreus (ssp. crawshayi?) of central Kenya.  I suppose the Ugalla hyrax is of the subspecies mimus.  The Ugalla site gives an incorrect vernacular name for D. arboreus...it should be 'Southern Tree Hyrax'....not 'Bush Hyrax".
 
Cheers,
 
Tom
