When we see someone speaking so loudly very frequently, we get uncomfortable,scared and even irritated and angry. But, when these folks talk on loudspeaker, we along with others just want to flee from that place as quickly as possible.
Similarly, the sounds of some animals are loud enough that they don't even need loudspeaker to communicate with other animals of their own species. We would get terrified by listening to the sounds of these creatures which are some of the loudest on the planet.
As we all know, that big cats produce many sounds and out of them, roar is the iconic sound of many species. Both lions and tigers have robust roars and can be heard from around 4 miles away. In case of lions, both the genders roar, but it is lions (males) who have louder and sonorous (deeper) roars which they can even extend its duration (to around 2 mins).
Though the tiger's roar is also louder and is of short duration, it holds a baffling surprise i.e. ability to paralyze its prey. True, their roar along with their infra-sound growl boasts the strength to paralyze not only its prey species but also Homo Sapiens of all kinds i.e. even experienced trainers.Well, this can even be a warning for any of those going to any zoo or India's wildlife sanctuary.
Indeed, it feels terrifying by listening to the vocalizations of these mighty predators.
Even, there are other predators which don't need a loudspeaker. Being the largest member of the dog family, grey wolves have louder howls which can be heard from a longer distance. The same case is with spotted hyenas with their whoops and giggles being equally loud which are symbolic sounds of their clan/cackle (a hyena's group).
As this is the first part, there are even some more creatures with louder,ear-pricking noises which will be in the next part of this blog.
