I can only imagine what snarfing sounds like.

I'll just repost what I commented below:
Boy, snarfling is hard to describe. Have you ever heard a camel grumble, like in a movie or something? It's somewhat like that but it's higher pitched and they can get very, very loud. It's not unusual for us to be able to hear them going at it while we're in the house. Then they spit at each other a bit, with their faces practically pressed up against each other side-by-side. It's a hierarchy thing, and it almost always has to do with food. They're sisters, and they just are continually in each others faces. Maybe I can grab a small recording of it some day.

Thanks! (We had crappy internet last night, so I've just listened to it now.) The screaming one is pretty similar to the snarfling. Screaming, in my experience, lasts a lot longer. Screeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm! Snarfling (which is a word we made up, btw) is like a bunch of short screams and spitting.

Very cool link :)

They are all so adorable. What's the snarfling all about?

Yes - what is this snarfling business?
