Yes, some animals do vocalize differently based on where they’re from. Scientists believe this is related to forming a group identity.

Some cool examples of this phenomenon:

  • Caribbean sperm whales use a pattern of sounds no other group of whales uses, and pilot whales’ noises differ more between groups than within them.
  • In one study, bats raised in a lab with their mothers were exposed to a different subset of bat vocalizations through speakers. Instead of just imitating their mothers, the baby bats developed an “accent” more similar to the sounds they heard on the speakers.
  • Although they have a pretty limited set of bleats, goats have been shown to modify their calls based on their social surroundings.

So yeah, animal communications can develop regional differences just like human speech.

A dog sounds barks: "wau wau" in Spanish, and "bow bow" in French.People have different accents because of environmental constraints and because of the complexity of human language which gives rise to the variation seen. Animals (except birds) have a limited range of sounds which equate to a simple form of language - if there is any variation it will be very minor.Animals do have regional variations which could be classed as accents, for example: It has been noted that cows moo at different pitches depending on the location and size of their herding group.
