Synchronized Audiovisual Record of Repeated Close-Range Nasal-Like Sounds During Camera-Directed Investigation by a Japanese Serow (<i>Capricornis crispus</i>)

The sounds are therefore conservatively described as candidate nasal or breath-associated sounds. Because this is a single opportunistic field recording, mechanical contact with the camera or other camera-associated noise cannot be completely excluded.</p><p dir="ltr">The dataset includes the original trail-camera video, extracted audio, individually extracted acoustic events, event-level measurements, waveform and spectrogram visualizations, and derived acoustic analyses.

Exploratory comparison with low-frequency non-cough cattle reference recordings is also provided as derived analysis; the original external cattle recordings are not redistributed in this dataset.</p><p dir="ltr">This dataset is intended to provide a reproducible audiovisual record for studies of Japanese serow behavior, mammalian bioacoustics, camera-directed investigation, close-range respiratory or nasal-like sounds, and multimodal wildlife monitoring.

The recording should not be interpreted as establishing a species-specific acoustic signal; rather, it provides an openly accessible observation and quantitative characterization that can be tested against future recordings from additional individuals.</p>
