What Are Big Cats?
A silent hunter slinks unseen across a rocky landscape. It spots a deer grazing down below. The predator creeps closer until it crouches on a rock just behind its prey. Then, with one powerful leap, the cat seizes its victim, pulling it to the ground and breaking its neck. The puma has caught its latest meal.
Pumas are mammals that are often included in a group called big cats. The general term big cat
refers to wild cats that are significantly larger than small wild cats, such as lynx, serval, and ocelot. These larger cats include pumas, jaguars, cheetahs, lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, and clouded leopards. However, sometimes the term big cat is used more specifically to refer to large wild cats that can roar: lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. Pumas are unable to roar but do make a range of other sounds.
The wider group of big cats that includes pumas shares the following characteristics:
They are all above a certain size.
They are all carnivores.
None of them is hunted for food by another predator once they reach adulthood.
Big cats live in different habitats around the world, ranging from the rainforests of South America to African grasslands and the mountains of Southeast Asia. Some, such as leopards, can climb trees while others, such as jaguars, are strong swimmers. Lions are the most social cats, living in groups called prides. All big cats have coloring or patterns on their fur that help to conceal them as they hunt.
