A dog says woof in English but wan wan in Japanese: every language spells animal noises a little differently. This easy grid uses the English sounds kids learn first, from a lion's ROAR and a pig's OINK to an owl's HOOT and a frog's CROAK. Words run only across and down. Farm animals have their own word search for kids.

Up to about 5 miles, or 8 kilometers, on a still night. Lions ROAR to tell other lions where they are and to warn them to keep away.
