Giraffes, leopards, elephants, and rhinoceroses all were more scared of human voices than lion roars.

That's what I was wondering. Maybe some sort of uncanny vally impact where they can hear humans talking but not be able to see them.

I was thinking too that it could be some frequency thing from the audio playback, but if that were the case, the reactions would be the same for the lion noises and hunting noises.
