Roar (film)
''Roar'' is a 1981 American adventure comedy film written and directed by Noel Marshall, and produced by Marshall, Tippi Hedren, and Robert Gottschalk. ''Roar''s story follows Hank, a naturalist who lives on a nature preserve in Africa with lions, tigers, and other big cats. When his family visits him, they are instead confronted by the group of animals.

Roar (vocalization)
A roar is a type of animal vocalization that is 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) have 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 in which either the pitch or format is still higher ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
