Tigers use a variety of sounds to communicate over long distances. Tigers roar in a variety of situations these include attacking larger prey, females calling to their young and

indicating sexual interest. The roars a tiger makes can be heard from over 3 km.


Tigers also use many other sounds such as Chuffing

and Moaning.


The Moaning sound is a quieter and restrained roar made while tigers are calm, it is usually made when the tiger is walking with their heads in a downward position. This sound can be heard in distances less than 400 m away from the tiger.


Chuffing

is friendly sound that generally contains a soft 'brrr'

sound. They make this sound through their noses. The tiger makes this sound when it is greeting another tiger, it is more rare than the previous two sounds as tigers are more solitary animals.
