The roar of a lion can be heard from 8 kilometers (5.0 miles) away.

According to BBC, 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.
