Which of these cats can purr but cannot roar?
Correct answer: Snow Leopard
Jane
Wow very interesting, I think I saw a David Attenborough doc about Snow Leopards a long time ago.
Lionessa
Cats that can roar, like tigers, jaguars, and lions, cannot purr. Cats that can purr, like mountain lions, bobcats, and domestics, cannot roar. And just for fun, cheetahs chirp like birds.
Tex
Lionessa, I sent a report cause there’s two right answers. 😬
globee
This question is wrong. Pumas cannot roar either. I live near a big cat rescue in Texas and learned that fact from them.
Echoes
cool fact I picked tiger because they chauff so i got it wrong.. sad face
Tex
Lionessa, a mountain lion is a puma. This question says puma’s roar.
Patty Sue
Lionessa, I reported as well. Puma was my answer. Also technically, a snow leopard is a leopard. They probably should’ve put less ambiguous answers.

A dazzling creature.

Astha
Jane, I just learned it from the picture

I've heard the top three roar in the zoo, but never the fourth.
Robbo
Patty Sue, a snow leopard is a distinct species from the leopard

I ruled out Tiger bc Katy Perry said in ROAR, "I got the eye of the tiger" 😂

Being unable to roar is a good thing in mountain country as it means you’re not going to create an avalanche!

Jam, how do you know
Lionessa
Tex, I also sent a report, because people who say Puma should not be penalized. I got a "form letter" remark back. Apparently they only pay attention if lots of reports are filed, and two aren't enough.

Rosie-knees, don't they bite?

The ability to roar is dependent on the type of vocal cords the cat has. This is one of several characteristics that separate the big cats from the small cats. Big cats roar but cannot purr, small cats are opposite. The puma is indeed a small cat incapable of a true roar. Snow leopards have been traditionally classified as big cats which would indicate that they should be able to roar. Interesting to learn that they don't. However that doesn't indicate that they can't.

Sam, I think you are correct. I've seen them yowl and growl on TV programs.

so they're basically like harmless leopards. Cool😎
