In normal cats, there is also the epihyal bone which is part of the animals voice box. In Big cats this bone is replaced by a ligament. This ligament is capable of stretching to create larger sound-producing passage and thus a wider range of pitch. The more the ligament extends, the lower the sound generated when air passes across the vocal cords. In addition, the cords are large, unbroken and fleshy, which produces deeper sounds.
