Terrifying Elephant Roar

Phuki is a rescued Asian Elephant from Thailand's logging industry, and now resides in Chiang Rai, Thailand. With chronic abscesses, arthritis, and a poorly healed broken ankle from his logging years, leg treatment is done every day to reduce the pain. Since Phuki is in musth, he can get agitated during these procedures, as evident in the video from his roar. Elephants will tuck their trunks in their mouths in order to calm down, so Phuki's mahout attempts to calm him down by touching his upper palate.

Then again the T-Rex from Jurassic Park had some elephant sounds used.

[@davidvanniedek2605]

[@TheTheninjagummybear]

@D4RRT, Elephant hunting is absolutely barbaric and causing young elephants to associate humans with a brutal death. They're becoming violent towards us because of poachers and entitled rich people.

If you lived in Louisiana. You’d probably think it was some kind of swamp monster.

[@williardbillmore5713]

The "roar " you hear from elephants like this is not meant to intimidate, express anger or warn of an impending attack. It is a communication technique to find out if there are other elephants in the area. The subsonics they produce with this rumble can travel for miles through the ground and another elephant will return the call to advertise their location in response. Elephants are many time more sensitive to these subsonic frequencies than we are. They are not displaying anger when they make this sound...They are merely being social.

[@EmCros]

There are about 15+ elephants in the camp, and sometimes you hear them doing these odd rumbles from time to time. Yeah I was told they are communicating with the others through vibrations which is amazing. Any scope into how animals communicate and interact beyond what we humans do is fascinating.

[@death_parade]

i heard that a Tiger's roar also contains infrasound, but this one is meant to paralyze the prey or cause their heart to palpitate. .

[@DeeDeexx]

That is so cool. 😁 they are beautiful creatures, and I frikkin love elephants. In saying that though, even though I now know it's not a warning sign or anything like that, I would still panic if I heard an elephant do that. 😅

[@yurifairy2969]

Angry elephants sound VERY different

[@williardbillmore5713]

@@yurifairy2969 Indeed they do, Yuri. These subsonic vocalizations can not be mistaken for what we know are sounds by elephants made in anger

[@southlondonlad9144]

Thank you for your reply. Happy new year

[@Sylmarys24]

They can call at 117 decibels, almost enough to cause permanent hearing damage and they can be heard 10 kilometres away. I think its safe to say this is like whispering for the elephant.

[@definty]

This makes a lion roar sound like a servals hiss

[@sossiepie2243]

Nope, lion roar is even deeper and equally loud.

[@TheDr502]

I agree. A lion roar sounds more like a loud grrowwwl. Impressive, but not really much of a roar. An elephant roar sounds monstrous, as does a tiger's roar. (In fact, the "lion" roar that you hear in those MGM openings is really a tiger roar. Plus, they tend to use elephant roars in dinosaur movies like Jurassic Park. It's obvious why sound engineers do that)

Sadly T. Rex Could Roar or Growl like an Elephant considering the vocal organs needed for Roaring and Growling (The Larynx) and The Vocal organ that creates a Bird Call (A Syrinx) didn't Evolve until after the Non Avian Dinosaurs went extinct, also there are no precursor of those vocal organs, meaning that Dinosaurs Couldn't Roar, though they would have been able to make sounds that don't require Vocal Organs at all, Such as Hissing, Honking and the Low "Booms" you hear an Ostrich or Cassowary make
