Interesting as they are always depicted as being slightly bigger in head and neck which would lead to a lower resonant note normally. What indicates a higher tone?

Ever hear an elk bugle? They're both much bigger than you and higher pitched too.

A larger animal doesn't necessarily produce lower pitched sounds.
