Snow leopards


A big cat is not only defined by their size but also by its ability to roar. There are a few species that are nearly as big but cannot roar so are not included in the list of big cats.

The 5 big cats, all members of the panthera genus, are:Tiger

Lion

Jaguar

Leopard

Snow Leopard


The big cats are classified not only by size but due to their ability to roar. Some other cats are as big, or nearly so, but can not roar.

Depending on whose opinion you choose to believe, the number varies from 4 to 6. I take the middle of the road approach. 1.) Lion

2.) Tiger

3.) Jaguar

4.) Leopard

5.) Snow Leopard

All in my list are from the panthera genus and all can roar. There are other cats that are as big as, or bigger than, some of the cats in the above list but they cannot roar and do not belong to panthera. The cougar and the cheetah are the main two.
