Lion Roar 4k

[Kena Sugrue]

ThereI was, sitting in the middle of my hydrogeology class, when I heard it. Though the noise was faint, I immediately knew what had happened: the toilet flushing in the bathroom across the hall sounded exactly like the Nittany Lion.

The trademark Nittany Lion roar, played at most major Penn State sporting events, has been fully branded on my prefrontal cortex as a result of many freezing tailgates, unbelievable Saquon Barkley plays, and Blue Band performances.

The second lion seemed even larger than his brother, glowing orange in the sun and sashaying through the brush as if he owned the world. Brother 1 stopped roaring and looked over at his pal. They were like kittens preparing to pounce on each other in the grass.

I had traded my long telephoto lens for a shorter one, and was using up batteries and storage space as I continued to record the love-in. Three lions, rolling and playing together like giant tawny kittens in the icy morning light.

This was highlighted rather nicely by the Majingilane males one morning, when three of them had been found in a thicket near the Maxabene, and the fourth male was somewhere a few kilometres away, I think with the Tsalala pride if memory serves me correctly.

It always used to astound me how well the trackers at Londolozi were able to identify the different Majingilane males who were calling. I once lost a six-pack of beers to Oxide Ndlovu when he told me that it was definitely the Scar-nosed male roaring one morning. I figured he was pulling my leg and that he only had a 1-in-4 chance of being right (there were four lions in the coalition), but he got it spot on, and I was a six-pack down!

Thank you for a great blog, James! I am so happy for the research that is going on now.. Panthera with the DNA data bank being started and the information being gathered on all of our wonderful leopards.. I know there is another place doing leopard research also but not in the Sabi Sands.. Ingwe Leopard Project headquartered in the Thabo Tholo is doing some wonderful work also. I enjoy blogs of this nature, it is always a pleasure to learn as well as experience.

It was in Londolozi that we had one of our best experiences. it was nightfall and Sandros had us parked infront of two sleepy male lions. suddenly, one of them started roaring. then he got up, and walked, roaring all the way. and we followed until he came towards the vehicle, while roaring, went under us and then next to the vehicle. the vehicle rattled like crazy. wow. that was all we could say over again and again.wow. and i love how you talked about them being able to pinpoint each other so accurately. they are such a smart species.

While dandelions are seen as a weed to many, the flower is actually quite versatile. The leaves add nice bitterness to a summer salad and the petals are great for tea. Dandelion wine has also long been a summer creation of DIYers. As a meadmaker I thought the unique sweet floral taste of the dandelion would work beautifully in a citrusy mead.

Thanks! I was a bit nervous, so decided to troubleshoot and take a hydrometer reading. It seemed sort of low and I felt perhaps more honey could be fermented, so I added another culture. I guess the worst case scenario it makes a drier wine! Appreciate all the helpful tips. Really am enjoying this challenge!

Hello: We just popped a mead we made in 1997 in Washington state. Moved to MN and forgot about the mead. Discovered it last week and were concerned that the mead had gone bad because of the amount of sediment. But, much to our surprise the Gorsch bottles with rubber seals had worked magic and the mead looked and acted like champagne, tasted semi-sweet but the last glass was dark due to the sediment. The remaining bottles will be shared with friends this weekend. Thanks for the comment section to your site. Darrell

Looks like this will be my first attempt at a Mead. Will let you know how it turns out. Just started wine making in November of 2017 Those have turned out well. Then some one mentioned Mead and well here we are.

For a pair of young Swedish sisters, First Aid Kit's Klara and Johanna Sderberg sure do attract a lot of Fleet Foxes comparisons. Those start, of course, with the pair's gorgeous 2008 cover of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song," which became a YouTube sensation to the tune of more than 2.6 million views. But they'll no doubt continue with the release of First Aid Kit's second full-length album, The Lion's Roar (out Jan. 24), which conjures an array of dense echo-chamber harmonies and a good deal of achingly somber portent. Much of the time, it stays nestled in a Foxes-friendly sweet spot of rich choral folk, suitable for moping and swooning along.

How does a lion devour its prey? One bite at a time. I wonder at times if twentieth century Christians have been mesmerized by prosperity and busy schedules while the enemy has already chewed off three quarters of their leg!

I once read a book about Winston Churchill. He believed the battlefield is the place where great issues are resolved. And I believe that the great issues of our day will never be decided sipping lemonade in a hammock, but rather through well equipped Christians invading lion country. Just as Churchill refused to negotiate until the adversary had capitulated, neither can we afford to give into temptation or compromise.

The gut string prepared with rosin is rubbed with the leather cuff and makes the head vibrate. A cord attachment is mounted to the drum shell, from which the lion roar can be suspended from a gibbet stand.

At thirty-seven years old, I was worn down by city life. Boyfriends and friends had come and gone. Single, unfulfilled, unemployed and battling frequent bouts of crippling anxiety, I knew I had to make a change. Channelling my fears and yearning to experience more of life, and inspired by a deep love of animals, I uprooted myself from a life I had worked so hard to build. A healthy dose of serendipity, three months and 6000 miles later, I touched down in Johannesburg where Martin, part of the ACE team in South Africa, allayed all my fears about spending the next twelve weeks away from everything I knew.

My purpose-filled days of caring for sick, injured and orphaned animals at the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre near Hoedspruit, South Africa, including a black rhino called Dela and a cheetah called Bullet, nurtured my weary soul and encouraged the tired edges of my life to ease. Conversely, the grittiness of conservation and the difficult decisions that the staff at Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre made every day challenged my strength and resilience at every turn. But, it would be a lion, rescued seventeen years earlier who would change my life forever. As he roared in response to Brian, the centre manager, calling his name, I fell to the ground, clutching the grass in an attempt to steady my body from the uncontrollable shaking. My tears, as they fell, were wrung with inner pain. Each roar punched me with a thud, rattling the armour I had spent decades creating to protect myself from the outside world. I cried for days, not understanding what had just happened to me.

Three weeks later, another transfer van organised by ACE, took me safely to Hanchi Horseback Conservation, back to South Africa, where I learned to ride and trot, the feeling of which swelled my burgeoning confidence. Caring for the ten rescued former racehorses filled my overwhelming need to be closer to animals again. Riding out in the bush atop a horse brought me a joy I could never have imagined.

My final destination for the last two weeks of my twelve-week adventure was the Phinda Wildlife Research Project searching for collared lions, counting elephants and rhinos and attempting to tranquilise a leopard which provided me with countless adrenaline-induced experiences. Here, I continued to push my boundaries of what I thought I was capable of, including looking for an antelope to kill for bait.

Roars are used to signal territoriality and to locate distant pride members. Both male and female lions demonstrate ownership of territories via roaring and are able to gauge the strength of opposition based on the number of roars heard from other groups. A number of studies have used playback experiments to assess the reaction of lions to the playback of roars from varying numbers of lions. Females are more likely to respond to roars of other groups if they outnumber the other group, whereas males tend to approach the roars of competing lions regardless of their number. Fights between females often result in severe injury or death, so it is critical for lionesses to gauge the risks before engaging. Fighting between males is also frequently deadly, but pride males appear to have nothing to lose by approaching intruders because their only chance of reproductive success is when they control a pride. Consequently, they seem willing to fight for that control regardless of the odds.
