until you realize the split-second murderous impulse when someone behind the camera was shocked about something, spooking the lioness.

"Ah, my baby is so adorable! Imma roll around and play with them, having so much fun -Do I need to fucking tear that creature limb from limb? - Oh, nevermind it's harmless, back to playing with my fuzzball, listen to that cute meow!" - Mama lion probably.

This got this attention of both of the cats I’m cat sitting right now. 😂 Ears perked up and intent stares from both of them.

“Fear my squeak”

u/alluptheass 15d ago

I thought lions couldn’t meow because they have some structure in their mouth that lets them roar but not meow?

u/Rhododendron29 15d ago

Purr, big cats can roar but not purr, small cats purr but can’t roar. It’s a floating hyoid and specially developed larynx that allows them to roar. They can “meow” like other cats though many take to different forms of vocal communications

u/proudfootwin 15d ago

I think you’re thinking of purring. Large cats, excluding cheetahs, have a different structure of hyoid bone in their throat that prevents purring, but allows them to roar.

u/alluptheass 15d ago

Ah. Okay, thank you.

u/_jams 15d ago

Strictly speaking cheetah are not big cats.

u/pristinejunkie 14d ago

They aren't? What are they?

1

u/proudfootwin 14d ago

Lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, and jaguars are all members of the genus Panthera. We colloquially call this group Big Cats. Cheetahs, on the other hand, belong to a separate genus called Acinonyx.

u/pristinejunkie 14d ago

Thank you!

u/dustojnikhummer 14d ago

So mid-sized cats?

2

u/BlabBehavior 14d ago

No it's literally scientific grouping. Big cats, by definition, can roar and can't purr.

Cheetahs are classified in their own group, by themselves, cause they are unique in that they are they only cat that can't retract their claws.
