Animal Sounds is a lightweight animal audio dataset designed to support model development in areas such as bioacoustic research, species classification, and sound event detection.

The dataset contains about 10,800 samples, covering audio of seven species, including birds (such as long-tailed tits and zebra finches), dogs, Egyptian fruit bats, giant otters, macaques, and killer whales. Each audio is 1-5 seconds long, which is suitable for lightweight model training and fast experiments.
