Publication Year:
2012
Abstract:

The cheetah ranks among the more vocal felids, and is above all a prominent purrer. However, the cheetah also produces a wide variety of other sounds, and this paper takes a closer look at a category of sounds produced by wild cheetahs, agonistic vocalizations, that can be divided into moaning, growling, hissing and spitting sounds.
