Index
Some words are shown in bold, like this. You can find out what they mean by looking in the glossary.
What Are Big Cats?
Have you ever heard a lion’s roar? It can be pretty scary! A male lion will roar to warn another male to stay off his territory. A lion’s roar can be heard from 5 miles (8 kilometers) away.
Mammals
Big cats such as lions are mammals. Mammals have fur or hair on their body and use lungs to breathe. They give birth to live young and babies feed on milk from their mother. Does this description sound familiar? It should—humans are also mammals.
Cats
There are 36 species in the cat family, including the domestic cat you might have at home! But only a small number are known informally as big cats. One definition of big cats includes all the species of Panthera or roaring cats. Tigers are the largest of the roaring cats, followed by lions, jaguars, and leopards. Some scientists also describe the cheetah, puma, snow leopard, and clouded leopard as big cats.
WALKING ON AIR
If you watch a lion walking, its heels don’t touch the ground! The toes are big compared to the rest of the paw. Pads on the bottom of their feet cushion their feet and allow them to move more quietly.
Cats are great hunters, usually searching for food at night because their vision is often a lot better than that of their prey and because it’s cooler. All their senses are excellent, helped by rotating ears and sensitive vibrissae (whiskers).
Lion cubs might look cute, but when they grow older they will have to become killers
