Good morning and happy Thursday! Here鈥檚 your morning start to get your day going.

Fun fact: A lion鈥檚 roar can be heard 5 miles away

According to BBC, a lion鈥檚 roar is so that loud it can reach 114 decibels (at a distance of around one metre) and can be heard from as far away as five miles.

鈥淭his volume is all to do with the shape of the cat鈥檚 larynx,鈥 said BBC.

鈥淢ost animals have triangular vocal cords but a lion鈥檚 are square and flat, which allows them to respond more easily to air passing through. This means a louder roar with less effort.鈥
