Tigers Use Growl In
Very Low Frequencies
To Paralyze Victims

"The research will not surprise military scientists,
long aware of the potential of infrasound as a
weapon. Several devices that can stun advancing
troops with a shockwave of low-frequency sound
are being developed."
A tiger's roar is so intimidating that it has the power
to paralyse animals and humans within earshot - a
phenomenon that has, until now, baffled
researchers.
Scientists at the Fauna Communication Research
Institute in North Carolina have discovered that the
tiger's secret is its ability to make very
low-frequency sounds that any prey will feel, in
addition to the threatening rumble that is usually the
last thing a victim hears.
Researchers have been working in the field of
bio-acoustics, studying the frequency, pitch,
loudness and duration of animal sounds in order to
understand animal behaviour. They have
established that the tiger emits low-pitched
"infrasound", a growl so deep that it is inaudible to
humans. All big cats have this skill, although to a
lesser extent than the tiger.
Humans can only hear frequencies from 20 hertz
(cycles per second) to 20,000 hertz, but tigers,
whales, elephants and rhinos can all produce
sounds below 20 hertz. The tiger mixes infra sound
growls at 18 hertz and below with the roar that we
can hear, and the result, according to Dr Elizabeth
von Muggenthaler, president of the institute, is that
humans can feel the tiger roar - a sensation that
causes momentary paralysis.
That blast of infrasound means a tiger has the
capacity to paralyse even trainers who have worked
with them for years.
"It rattles and shakes people, and it's stunning
because it happens so fast, just a split second," Dr
von Muggenthaler said.
"It's an incredible force coming at you. When they
roar, tigers often move at great speed from lying
down to straight up. During that time you never
have any thoughts of running away because you're
so glued to the moment in time."
Tigers do not only use infrasound literally to scare
their prey stiff. It is an invaluable means of
communication for them because it can travel long
distances.
The research will not surprise military scientists,
long aware of the potential of infrasound as a
weapon. Several devices that can stun advancing
troops with a shockwave of low-frequency sound
are being developed.
The scientists say tigers are "remarkably articulate"
animals which, in addition to roaring, have a wide
variety of special sounds for use with other tigers,
such as chuffing - a type of affectionate greeting -
growling, hissing, grunting and mewling.
In the first study of its kind, Dr von Muggenthaler
and her colleagues recorded every growl, hiss,
chuff and roar of 24 tigers at the Carnivore
Preservation Trust, in Pittsboro, North Carolina, and
at the Riverbanks Zoological Park in Columbia,
South Carolina.
Last month she told a meeting of the Acoustical
Society of America how tigers "talk" with a range of
messages. It is the use of infrasound, however, that
really singles them out.
