A baby lion, called a cub, doesn’t start off with a mighty roar like adult lions. Instead, it makes soft mews, squeaks, and little growls. As the cub grows, its voice deepens and becomes stronger. By around one year old, it starts practicing louder growls and roars, but the full, powerful lion roar usually develops closer to two or three years of age. Roaring helps lions communicate, mark territory, and show strength—so learning to roar is an important part of growing up! Credit goes to: Zookeep
