Can a bear roar? Do bears roar? We hear them roar on the movies. But do they roar in real life? -your thoughts.

They growl but the lion has the loudest roar which can be heard four miles which is twice as loud as the tiger’s roar which is 2 miles. Yet the louder roar doesn’t mean more powerful.
I believe roar refers to pantherines while growls refers to bears.

Nice video King. In listening, my personal conclusion ( description ) of what I heard is something unique to bears. IMHO - these bears are voicing something more than a growl yet less than a roar. With the lack of a better word, I will call these growls.
When I read about the grizzly from dozens of different authors, there were some subjects of conflicting - opinions. This is just one such topic. Some of them claim that a bear never roars. Others tell of the thunderous roar just before a bold attack. There was at least one author - can't remember who - said - and I agree - in my own words - a grizzly can roar as thunderous a roar as a lion, but it serves him no purpose, as it does the African king. A grizzly will roar very rarely and probably some bears will never roar. Its like if a person has the ability to give out a Tarzan yell as effectively as Johnny Weissmuller but doesn't know it and never does.
Yes, I believe that a bear can roar - at least the grizzly and the polar - but seldom if ever do.

answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AwrC_BzyzwleYT8AMQEPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTEyazVtNmRrBGNvbG8DYmYxB Are lions the only animals that can truly roar? Best answer: "Roar" is a descriptive word rather than a scientific definition. If a jet engine, a crowd, and an angry boss can roar, why not other animals? In other words it is a qualitative rather than a quantitative term. So if it sounds like a roar to you, go ahead and call it a roar. Robert Ruark, a writer famous for stories about Africa, said a lion's roar sounded like the rumble of a summer thunderstorm, and described the leopard's "HUH-HUH-HUH" as sawing. If you would prefer to say that a gorilla bellowed, what's wrong with that? As far as your second question, I'm not sure if the big cats are reacting to the roarer or to the thing at which he roars, but they will react. “Roar.” The Merriam-Webster.com / : to utter or emit a full loud prolonged sound - : to make or emit a loud confused sound (such as background reverberation or rumbling. *So yes, we may lay claim that a bear can roar.

Definitely can. Lions and tigers roar to intimidate an enemy, but bears stand on hind legs to intimidate.

Oh yes by the way, in the books California grizzly and Notorious grizzly bears, in those hunter tales, they claim that when a grizzly is shot and hurt and about to die, it emits a roar that is something like never heard before.

I believe roar refers to pantherines while growls refers to bears. Nah growls are made by a lot of animals. Wolves growls when attacking an rival wolf. When they are angry or mad, they will growl too while showing their teeth and backing their ears. |

As the Carnivorans go, bears are among the least vocal. Perhaps because they are basically loners. A bear will huff and grunt. He will use tongue clicks and chomping or clacking the teeth. www.bearsmart.com/about-bears/communication/ The highest intensity vocalizations are expressed with their human-like voice, which they use to express a range of emotions. The black bear’s resonant “voice” is reserved for strong emotions and is seldom used except by a males fighting over a mate or a female defending her cub from a male. But, cubs will also readily scream in distress, whine when approaching their mother or give a tremulous hum when nursing or comfortably warm. Adults use this voice when in pain (bawling), in fear (moaning), in combat (bellowing), or when seriously threatened (deep-throated pulsing sound). Unlike cats and dogs, black bears seldom, if ever, growl, although the fear-moans of treed or trapped bears are often mistaken for growls. Predacious attacks are silent, as is normal feeding and even play. *Yes, a bear is capable of roaring. But this is extremely rare. |

I am still always curious to know that how loud is a bear's roar. Although not as loud as lion's roar but are there any estimations? Any in decibels etc?

Lions roar might be louder but the polar bear and brown bears growl are just as terrifying. The only reasons why lions have louder roars is because they are more territorial, they need it to alert neighbouring prides and males of their presence. Brown bears and polar bears on the other hand are not very territorial but there is still a monarchy system in who gets the best fishing spot, receptive females etc.

Regardless a male brown bear and polar bear is more dangerous than a lion and any other big cat even extinct ones due to weight advantage alone. Less vocal doesn’t mean less dangerous. |
