Animals: Cheetahs CANNOT roar like lions or tigers — they don't…

Question

Did you know? Cheetahs CANNOT roar like lions or tigers — they don't have the right throat apparatus. They CAN purr like a domestic cat (just much louder). Anatomically they're closer to house cats than to lions, despite their size.

Cheeta's kunnen NIET brullen zoals leeuwen of tijgers — ze hebben niet het juiste keelapparaat. Wel kunnen ze "spinnen" zoals een huiskat (alleen veel harder). Anatomisch staan ze dichter bij huiskatten dan bij leeuwen, ondanks hun grootte.
