Roar To Victory
A roar is a type of animal vocalization that is loud, deep and resonating. Many mammals have evolved to produce roars and other roar-like vocals for purposes such as long-distance communication and intimidation. These include various species of big cats, bears, pinnipeds, bovids, deer, elephants and simians. The anatomical basis for the ability to roar often involves modifications to the larynx and hyoid bone and enlarged internal air spaces for low-frequency vocal resonation. While roaring, animals may stretch out their necks and elevate their heads to increase the space for resonance. Definition The definition of "roar" has varied between species. However Weissengruber et al. (2002) has given a more general description of roars as consisting of both a low pitch and low formant. They have used the roars of lions and red deer as quintessential examples of the sound. Other researchers have mentioned similar "roar-like" vocalizations where either the pitch or formant is still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
