NPR "Animal Noises"

Puzzle Statement:

Take the name of an animal. Replace the last letter with an "h". You can then rearrange the letters to make the word for a sound that animal makes.

Solutions

The wolf goes "howl", and
The owl goes "who".

In addition:

Our social animal pal the beaver entreats us to "behave",
The salmon greets lox-lovers with a heartfelt "shalom",
The lowly toad mutters an "oath".
