ELI5: Do animals that make vocal sounds have different physical structures to their vocal chords from each other (and humans)? Or do they just use a similar physical make up to humans but use them differently to make distinct sounds?
I found myself deep in a youtube hole watching different birds of prey vocalizing. I also own a sweet husky/australian shepherd mix who loves to howl (and bark). It got me thinking about vocalization. Are the vocal chords of different species similar in structure but "used" differently? Or is the vocal structure (no idea what else to call it...) physically different.
