Whale / Sea Creatures Samples?

[WhiteSheets]

Does anybody know where I might get high quality samples of dolphins / whales / other sea creatures? I'm presuming there MUST be some sample library of these sounds but google is not being kind. Your help would be greatly appreciated as I need some urgently for a project I'm doing. I'm particularly interested in whale clicks + whale song.

Thanks so much, Haydn - anybody else? Would be amazing if there was a library solely of whale / dolphin sounds, but maybe there just isn't...

Sorry I dont know any whale/dolphin libraries.

Hiss & Roar recently released a seal library - HISS and a ROAR

Sound dogs will probably have loads of effects which you could buy individually - http://www.sounddogs.com/extendedsearch.asp

Or you could try getting in touch with marine biologists, some scientists spend their whole career recording whale sounds.

the Sound Ideas "Just Birds and Animals" Library have Dolphins and other sea creatures as well.

In the middle of an kids underwater animation series at the moment but we actually got actors to vocalise the whale moans/calls and dolphin chirps (they are a serious bunch of voice actors!). Once they are pitched and timed right, with some more fx and light vocoding of library whale stuff, we got close. At the same time, the animals talk normally so we didn't want to go full on realistic - it was a good balance
Might not work for your show though

Search

His use fees are a mite steep for me, but he does have some of the greatest stuff.

my bad, that link is his 'comsumer' site.

for use in Media you'll want to use the contact info on the main pare:

Cheers - thats a very useful tip, although may be a little expensive, as you say. Think its rather strange that somebody hasn't released a pure sea creatures sample library at this stage. The harmonics are so rich in these sounds that they're the perfect tool for creative sound design. I suppose its probably the expense of actually recording whales / dolphins etc... which has stopped anybody doing so so far. Think I'll get the Hollywood Edge stuff later today.

Thanks everybody for replying.
