intonation

ach that already in a zoological garden was knows me safety which can sounds which give a tiger of itself. It suffices of one miaow, if they are still small, up to one penetrating and very loud "roaring" . It is a whirring noise as we know it of house cats what one receives very rare to learn. One will tell at the beginning to themselves that a tiger can finally be no house cat and can not purr therefore. However, this is a fallacy. Inspected through other anatomy is not to be made ably the tiger indeed a consecutive whirring tone, as the house cat. The tiger can "only" whirr while breathing out, during the less cats - and exhalation make can whirring noises. If therefore one lets something time in the zoo for themselves, one can learn in former times or later once as a tiger purrs.

The tiger has a very great repertoire as all cats to voice variations. A great number on animals only activate for example in case of danger a specific sound from increasing danger and with increasing danger the same sound rapid or more frequent. The cats employ different sounds in this situation. The contents the the same one always likes embassy its ("danger"), but the strength of this emotion becomes expressed with different sounds.

It gives seven main situations between which one can distinguish (it yes now makes no sense to decollate after sounds):

fear	in these a cat will attempt situation silent disappear – should not be this possible can one throat howl tones up to hiss and spit observe
pain	depending on strength of pain can classify one this sound as squeaking until screeching – one stops such call they were raised only next to tiger pups or next to tigers that from the human being, since a tiger can count tigers not other in free hunting ground to aid (the human being in the event of an emergency comesdouble-exclamation)
anger/rage	here you can in general hear very loud howling screeching which is sometimes confused with rut sounds, since fights mostly fall into this time
attack	this noise rings as a strange clattering with teeth and mouth, as would already have the tiger booty between the teeth and would already be zu bite
require attention	each can introduce miaowing a house cat savably, attention want – next to the tiger overhear one one of these miaow only if it is still he very young, with older tiger in free hunting ground gives up it no comparable sound – tigers gathered by people only mint for this a sound, that and a rolling snort rings out
request ("accompan with")	the request something do is as a be pulled twittering tone and resembles of dependants or familiar ones that is meant with puffing (see below) something of welcome
peaceable	it is formulated again and again unlike that what of many cat friends, is whirring no sign of contentment in the general one but a sign for a peaceable atmosphere, that quite also contentment but also contain servility or give can

The puffing addressed by me already is a welcome of the tiger to a familiar other tiger or too a human being. No tiger which likes one would omit to start a welcome in this way. It can be evaluated as a sign by sympathy and affection and an indication is that one of the tigers do not predetermine will attack without it first provoked that one him authoritative.

As last, I would like the so-called hissing of the tiger a little more closely consider be. This hissing is a defense strategy which should prevent attacks on the tiger from the beginning away. In order to explain this more closely one must move themselves onto the tier of the presumption back. The hissing and the priming next to the cats and also the tiger occurring in the same context mostly is to be led to a mimikry with every probability back. Meant mimikry that the tiger in this case deceives another animal, no doubt a poisonous snake to be The hissing hissing and the priming resemble in actual fact in amazing manner behavior that poisonous snakes in similar situations make. Even a tiger considers it, whether he a poison stroke attack or not nevertheless dearer to his way begins. One in the meantime also assumes that the skin review not only is camouflage but the mimikry also serves, around a poisonous snake according to to may imitate. When they feel the tiger in a situation in that he itself close into the corner, these noises he wakes the mostly innate fear of poisonous snakes in a made manner in the opponent. Consequently, hissing is a defensive average therefore in order to startle the opponent off. Next to a full-grown tiger, one observes a little extremely rarely as since he has to fear nothing of another animal, except for fellows. Next to tigers grown up by people in care, one also hears this hissing if the tiger wants to put through its will. One would could it as honor designate intimidation meant dearly.
