Wild Animals - Big cats: apex predators at the top of food chains
Wild Animals · 0:40
The term big cat generally refers to the five living members of the genus Panthera, which includes tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards, though it can also describe cheetahs and cougars. As members of the Felidae family, they share similar cardiovascular systems, skeletal frames, and musculature. These animals are obligate carnivores and apex predators with no natural hunters above them. Their native territories span the Americas, Africa, and Asia, with leopards and tigers reaching into Russia.
