[Pckts]

And Tigers actually aren't the only big cat who Chuffs either, apparently the Jaguar will chuff as well.

Tigers have also been known to imitate prey sounds  "The Pook"

Another unusual sound which may be made is the 'pook'. This is very similar to the sound made by the sambar, a favourite prey animal of the tiger. Because of this fact some experts think it may be a form of mimicry. By imitating the deer the tiger could elicit a reply, so locating the precise whereabouts of lunch. Local hunters also believe that the Amur (Siberian) tiger imitates the wapiti deer by producing the roaring of a stag during mating season.

These ideas are still to be proven and those who disagree point out it is equally likely any attempt at mimicry could spook the prey.


I guess you can call that a "meow" but its not used the way a cat meows, its more so used to let others know its there and if any of its females are around. Its basically announcing it self to the jungle.
It can actually be classified as a type of roar or Yowl if you will. Reply
