To those people who want to harm it – please don’t, just leave it alone.įrom mountain lion sounds to Wild Cat SpeciesĬat Sounds – all types, domestic and wild I think that completes the tour of mountain lion sounds. Only it is not quite like the purr we know! Much deeper and a great sound: The next video is of the mountain lion purring. “i have been stalked and chased by a male mountain lion so the sound is definitely a mountain lion because i heard that right before it chased me” The general consensus is that it is the mountain lion scream, which is quite distinctive. The mountain lion is some distance away and the sound is very like the sound in the top video. The next video was not intended to be that of a mountain lion scream but I am sure it is.
A much higher pitched sound and apparently you have to go out at night to hear these sounds. In the next video we hear some more mountain lion sounds that are not really at all like the sounds made by our pet.
The video maker says, “The sound recording is a female lion in heat calling for a mate, recorded locally…” You will be surprised at the mountain lion scream. In this first video we see still photos taken with what appear to be camera trap photos – the photographer calls it “motion activated trail-cam”, which implies it is a camcorder. Range of sounds – difficult to describe in words: They tend to focus in the gargling grunts, yowls, screams hisses and generally aggressive sounds of this fabulous wild cat. These sounds have been variously described as: yowling and caterwauling (domestic cats do this but at a lower volume and less harsh).īelow are some videos which lets us hear some of these sounds and immediately below are a serious of audio files of puma sounds. Finally, females can vocalize the fact that they are sexually receptive (in estrus or on heat). Single males and females can make an “ ouch” sound that apparently indicates frustration or announcing that they are there. The squeaks and growls traveled about 50-100 metres while the yowls traveled 200 meters. Mountain lion sounds are varied and some others are that have been heard between males and females are: a low gargling growl, throaty yowls and squeaks. The whistle would seem to vary between pumas. The same whistle call has been heard by researchers in the mountains of New Mexico between members of a family group and up to 300 meters from each other. It can travel a good distance (300 yards). The person described the sound as a high pitched, cheeping, whistle. This call has been used by a tame puma after she received a bit of food after the person called her over. Then there is the shrill whistle like call. It has been described as like a high pitched and short roar of one of the big cats. The frightening puma scream is the long-range call. The wah-wah sound is also made by the Eurasian lynx, bobcat, jaguarundi, caracal, serval and the golden cats ( Asian and African). They also make a low amplitude sound that sounds like wah-wah. The fact that the puma can’t roar doesn’t exactly mean that it sounds like our pet cat, however! Pumas use a variety of vocalizations that include a purr, meow, hiss and spit. The puma purr is a deeper and larger than the purr of our cat companion, though. See this page for an explanation: Tiger Roar. Roaring comes from the different anatomy of the larynx of the big cats. What this leads up to in terms of mountain lion sounds is that they don’t roar like the big cats (lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar) but purr like our little cat companions. a short face (the distance between the eyes and tip of the nose).the shape of the pupils (the central transparent area of the eye that looks black).the morphology (form and structure) of the cat’s feet.The mountain lion’s head has the proportions of a small cat (wild or domestic). Wild Cats of Asia (for kids) Menu Toggleīefore the classification of cats was based on fairly recent genetic analysis, the puma was placed in the genus of cats called Felis, which is the genus for the small cats (for example, the Scottish wild cat).
