Roaring Talk

This passage explores how lions communicate. They use roars, purrs, growls, grunts, scent marking, and body language to share messages. A lion’s roar can travel up to five miles and helps warn others to stay away from their territory. Lions also rub heads and nuzzle to bond with family members, strengthening pride relationships and maintaining cleanliness.
