One thing fell in my mind: is the "insectophone" of New Guinea, where
people literally play on living beetles, acoustically in the same way
as with the amplification of overtones in jew's harp playing. An
example of a primates (humans) making music from another living animal.
This is another form of animal music, of course, but still interesting.
