QUÉ SIGNIFICA PURR EN INGLÉS

Ronroneo

Purr

Un ronroneo es un sonido hecho por todas las especies de felinos. Varía entre los gatos, y de las especies a las especies, pero se puede caracterizar como un zumbido tonal. El término "ronroneo" ha sido utilizado liberalmente en la literatura, y se ha afirmado que los viverrids, los osos, los tejones, los hyaenas ronronean. Otros animales que se han dicho ronronear son conejos, ardillas, cobayas, tapires, lemurs de cola anillada, elefantes, mapaches y gorilas mientras comen. Sin embargo, utilizando una definición estricta de ronroneo de que la producción continua de sonidos debe alternarse entre la corriente pulmonar egressiva y la corriente de aire ingressiva, Peters, en una exhaustiva revisión de la literatura científica, llegó a la conclusión de que hasta entonces sólo "ronroneos" y dos especies de genetas, Tigrina, y muy probablemente Genetta genetta, había sido documentado para ronronear.

A purr is a sound made by all species of felids. It varies between cats, and from species to species, but can be characterized as a tonal buzzing. The term "purring" has been used liberally in literature, and it has been claimed that viverrids, bears, badgers, hyaenas purr. Other animals that have been said to purr are rabbits, squirrels, guinea pigs, tapirs, ring-tailed lemurs, elephants, raccoons and gorillas while eating. However, using a strict definition of purring that continuous sound production must alternate between pulmonic egressive and ingressive airstream, Peters, in an exhaustive review of the scientific literature, reached the conclusion that until then only ‘purring cats’ and two species of genets, Genetta tigrina, and most likely also Genetta genetta, had been documented to purr.
