One of the Selati male lion coalition calling to his brothers. The ability to roar is unique to the big cats of the genus Panthera, the other members of the genus are the tiger, leopard and jaguar. The roar of a lion can be heard for many miles and is used as a way of letting rivals know the territory is occupied. The roar is also a way of communicating with members of his own pride and reassures females that the territory is safe. Lions are able to pinpoint the location of a roar vey accurately and will be able to locate one another by roaring.

TUMBLR: http://goo.gl/qF6sNS A roar is a deep, bellowing outburst of sound forced through an open mouth. It is produced by animals of certain species. A roar is usually made using the hyoid, a small bone which is not completely rigid in adults. Animals roar for various reasons, including territorial proclamation, communication with other members, and anger. Additionally, the roar of an animal such as a lion is used in the process of finding and competing for a mate.
The roar pattern is composed of three overall segments - a beginning segment sounding like moaning, a middle segment with low frequency loud tones and a final segment which sounds much like grunting. The lion's roar is familiar to many through its inclusion in the MGM opening sequence. This roar segment consists only of the middle portion of the roar, omitting the first and last portions #zayoutubers #YouTubeSSA #YouTubeZA Follow #nowfilming on social networks for LIVE photo updates

Wild Extracts Safaris
Rob The Ranger is a proudly South African Youtuber
The purporse of the Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos YouTube channel is to show what it is like to experience an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel, some scenes may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
