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

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

According to , a lion’s 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.

“This volume is all to do with the shape of the cat’s larynx,” said BBC.

“Most animals have triangular vocal cords but a lion’s are square and flat, which allows them to respond more easily to air passing through. This means a louder roar with less effort.”
