Arguably the world’s most iconic animal sound.
“Roaring is a key component of lion social behavior and territoriality. A lion’s roar is arguably the world’s most iconic animal sound. Roars can be heard from over several kilometers away when conditions are right. The sound is deafening and awe-inspiring when heard from nearby. In my travels to the bush around Africa, I feel a true adrenaline rush and vulnerability when hearing lions roaring at night, especially when they are near and particularly when I am camping in a tent! Lions at night are very different creatures to the sleepy, docile animals they appear to be during the day. They are active, vocal, and see excellently in the dark. Roars are used to signal territoriality and to locate distant pride members.” - Dr. Peter Lindsey,
