Purring vs Roaring


Most of those reading this will have heard a cat purr at some point, but did you know that not all species of cats can purr? For example a lion cannot purr, while a snow leopard can purr. There's another sound many cats make, called chuffing, which is used in when a tiger greets another tiger or to apologize. The following is a list of many species of cats, and whether they purr, chuff, or roar.







The following video is some big cat sounds from BigCatRescue such as cougar, lions, and tigers. The video after the BigCatRescue video is of a Cheetah purring.

  3. Chuff? That's a different noise...

    And also, the items that were worth $400 in total weren't in the glove compartment. It was the dash cam and sunglasses that cost the most.
