Is it just me or anyone who bought this pet knows that if you tick " play " or " trick " while Courage the Lion is summoned, you can hear a Purr sound not a Roar..
Aint lions supposed to ROAR not PURR???
The one major difference between big cats and small cats:
There is one thing which clearly differentiates large from small. There are no exceptions to this rule.
This is the hyoid bone which connects the tongue to the roof of the mouth. In big cats this has an elastic segment, while that of small cats is hard all over.
It is this which allows big cats to produce a roar, and which also prevents them from purring in the same manner small cats can. The 'purring' type of noise produced by big cats can only be made as they exhale.
Oddly enough, though the snow leopard has a flexible hyoid bone it has never been heard to roar, however it is most definitely a big cat by virtue of the flexible hyoid.
