If growling and roaring require vocal cords to make the sounds, then I disagree with "Giraffes have no vocal cords"...

I worked at a zoo in the giraffe area for 13 years. We all had heard that giraffe could make these noises, but no one had heard them in person.... until a new mother giraffe, who was very pissed at the vet staff coming in to check on her baby, made this growling and then roaring sound. I wasn't there myself, but I saw the video tape of it. It was amazing... she sounded like a lion roaring!

A group of crows is called a "murder".
