Somewhere, a horse splutters and whinnies, and I think it may be in the trees far to my left.

While vocal horse sounds, like neighs and whinnies, have been studied to an extent, non-vocal sounds are pretty much uncharted territory, Merkies said.

A horse whinnies in alarm as workers rush to shepherd a storybook cast of farm animals — chickens, pigs, sheep, cows — toward what they hope will be safer pastures.

An astonishing collection of laughs — whinnies, giggles, squeals, snorts, heaves — gradually colors the narrative, until this seemingly harmless man becomes, in effect, not just a witness to savagery, but also an accessory.

He was an indefatigably elegant stylist of prose so frequently hilarious, and so flawlessly rendered, that the reader has to suppress whinnies of giddy mirth if reading it in a library or while aboard the quiet car on Amtrak.

Several researchers have investigated the use of whinnies, which consist of between two and 12 quick increases and decreases in pitch, in more detail. This research has indicated one additional purpose of whinnies is to call other group members to a food source. Other purposes of whinnies suggested by this research have included maintaining vocal contact with other group members while traveling and distinguishing between group members and members of other groups. Geoffroy's spider monkey uses several forms of nonvocal communication.

Sounds produced by Geoffroy's spider monkey include barks, whinnies, squeals, squeaks and screams. Barks are typically alarm calls. Whinnies and screams can be used as distress calls, and are also made at dawn and at dusk. Each monkey makes a unique sound, which may allow monkeys to recognize each other through vocal communication alone.

They sound by themselves. > This is nothing miraculous [神], but the Five Notes being in relation; they > are what they are according to the numbers [數] (whereby the world is > constructed). (Similarly) lovely things summon others among the class of > lovely things; repulsive things summon others among the class of repulsive > things.

Peruna VIII was retired on October 15, 2011. At the beginning of his final season, Peruna VIII made one last mark on the Peruna legacy by killing a goat at his ranch.

He is eventually taken to a fair, where he briefly spots Joe, now a grown-up, but Joe doesn't notice him.

Jerry introduces Beauty to his warm family - wife and two young children, who name him Black Jack.

Laysan albatross with chick on Midway Wisdom with her chick, in March 2011 The Laysan albatross is normally a silent bird, but on occasion may be observed emitting long "moo"-ing sounds, descending whinnies, or rattles. Female Laysan albatrosses may bond for life and cooperatively raise their young. A female Laysan albatross named Wisdom is the oldest known wild bird in the United States or the Northern Hemisphere. Wisdom was banded by a U.S. Geological Survey researcher in 1956, and in December 2016, she was seen rearing a new chick on Midway Atoll.

In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau wrote that Rollins' ensemble sounds inspired by his innovative and radical saxophone playing on G-Man, which he called "jazz for rock-and-rollers to cut their teeth on. It's exciting, fun, a gas, all that stuff great rock and roll is supposed to be and so rarely is these days." Larry Hollis of Cadence Magazine said it is the most satisfying record from Rollins' tenure at Milestone and highlighted the title track, calling it "an exhaustive steamroller that will stand up to return listens" because of how Rollins maintains interest with a variety of techniques and sounds: "Jagged lines breaking up smoother passages, random squeals, whinnies and shakes drawn from the honking R&B; history book or dropping down into the cellar for some low register long tones sometimes split into quick octave leaps". Christgau later named it the best album of 1987 in his list for the annual Pazz & Jop critics poll, and in 1990 he named it the fourth-best album of the 1980s.

The third and longest extract, which is also the most historically interesting and the most beautiful, is seventeen verses from a lament on the death of "the son of Roger the Frank, lord of Sicily". Below are four verses: :The radiant moon has been extinguished and the world grown dark :and our support has tumbled from its grandeur and its nobility :Ah, just when he stood tall in his beauty and his majesty, :and when glories and nations felt proud of him :... :His war-tents and his palaces weep for him :and his sword and his lances lament him :And the whinnies of his horses turn, in their throats, :to nostalgia, though reins and halters restrain them. . . The son is not named, but the poem suggests that he had recently come of age at the time of his death, making Tancred (died 1138/40) or Alfonso (died 1144), who both died in their teens or early twenties, the most likely subjects. Beside these three extracts, ʿImād ad-Dīn also quotes some verses of Abū l‐Ṣalt Umayya that were sent to Abū l-Ḍawʾ.
