What Are Big Cats?
A shadow moves through the trees of a tropical forest. It moves silently towards an unsuspecting deer, getting closer and closer. Suddenly the dark shape leaps out and seizes the deer in a deadly bite. This powerful killer is a jaguar.
Jaguars are mammals that are included in a group called big cats. The term big cat
has different meanings, but generally refers to the larger wild cats, such as jaguars, lions, tigers, leopards, pumas, cheetahs, snow leopards, and clouded leopards. Sometimes the term big cat is used more specifically to include the larger cats that can roar. These are jaguars, lions, tigers, and leopards only.
As well as being able to roar, this smaller group of big cats shares the following features:
They are all above a certain size.
They are all carnivores.
They are all apex predators. This means no other animal hunts them for food.

Some, such as pumas and leopards, live alone, while lions live in large groups called
