Reverted [[WP:AGF|good faith]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/TalkTuahLunchly|TalkTuahLunchly]] ([[User talk:TalkTuahLunchly|talk]]): There was nothing wrong with the previous image.

/* Roar */Actually, it turns out they were created by the sounds of sped up vocalizations of monkeys. Don’t believe me. Here’s the original sound effect in this link which is found in the freesound website uploaded by craigsmith. and it is under the name G12-41-Layered Animal Growls.wav (also make sure you read the description of the sound effects so that way you’ll know that I’m telling the truth.)
