Roared

/rɔːrd/ verb

Definition

Made a loud, deep sound like a lion or thunder; laughed very loudly; or made a loud noise while moving fast.

Kelly Says

A lion's roar can be heard from 5 miles away and serves multiple purposes—it's a territorial claim, a warning, and a confidence boost all rolled into one, making it one of nature's most efficient communication tools.
