  1. big cat

    A big cat is a term used to refer to various species of large, predatory wild cats, mainly in the Panthera genus. They include species like lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and the snow leopard. These animals are known for their strength and power, their impressive roars (excluding the snow leopard, which cannot roar), and their position at the top of the food chain in their respective habitats. Size is typically the distinguishing factor between big cats and smaller feline species.

  1. Big cat

    The term big cat, while not a biological classification, is used informally to distinguish the larger felid species from smaller ones. One definition of "big cat" includes the four members of the genus Panthera: the tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar. A more expansive definition of "big cat" also includes the cougar, cheetah, snow leopard, and clouded leopard. Despite enormous differences in size, the various species of cat are quite similar in both structure and behavior, with the exception of the cheetah, which is significantly different from any of the big or small cats. All cats are carnivores and efficient apex predators. Their range includes the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
