That's a wonderful piece, Aaron. Thanks for that. I'll be including
this in the new book I'm writing for Little Brown titled
"The Great Animal Orchestra" due out late next year.
If anyone has any other animal instrument data, like primates using
the buttresses of ficus trees to pound out rhythms and signal other
groups, hence the origins of human drumming, let me know.
