Abstract
Elephants are often injured or killed while running away after being chased by the cry of a tiger, which is becoming a hot topic. According to the previous experimental papers, it was found that accidents often occur where an elephant, who was not afraid of the cry of a leopard or a puma, hears the cry of a tiger and panics, then falls off a cliff or dies without getting out of the swamp.[1] Then, we investigated what kind of sound components are contained in the Tiger`s cry, which frightens the elephants and makes them tremble in fear. We also investigated how different the Tiger`s cry was from other feline predators. The experiment was conducted by comparing and analyzing the cries of leopards and pumas among various feline predators with those of tigers. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the low-frequency sound of the 50 Hz band and the intense ultra-low-frequency sound below the human audible band were widely and strongly generated in the cry of a tiger. Suppose the elephant habitat or zoo wants to prevent accidents or stress caused by hearing the tiger cry. In that case, installing a barrier or sound barrier around the elephant habitat is also possible to prevent the powerful low-frequency sound from the Tiger`s cry from being transmitted directly
