Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The term big cat - which is not a biological classification - is used informally to distinguish the larger felid species from smaller ones. One definition of "big cat" includes the four members of the genus Panthera: the tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar. These "roaring cats" are also sometimes distinguished from the other big cats by the term great cats. A more expansive definition of "big cat" also includes the cheetah, snow leopard, and cougar.
