The cats
Lion
The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera, currently ranging only in Sub-Saharan Africa and India.
It has a muscular, broad-chested body; a short, rounded head; round ears; and a dark, hairy tuft at the tip of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane that extends from the head to the shoulders and chest.
Tiger
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a large cat and a member of the genus Panthera native to Asia.
It has a powerful, muscular body with a large head and paws, a long tail and orange fur that fades to white in parts, with black, mostly vertical stripes. It is traditionally classified into nine subspecies, though some recognise only two subspecies, the mainland Asian tiger and the Sunda Islands tiger.
Leopard
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a large cat of the genus Panthera, native to Africa and Asia.
It has a pale yellowish to dark golden fur with dark spots grouped in rosettes. Its body is slender and muscular, reaching a length of 92–183 cm (36–72 in) with a 66–102 cm (26–40 in) long tail and a shoulder height of 60–70 cm (24–28 in). Males typically weigh 30.9–72 kg (68–159 lb), and females 20.5–43 kg (45–95 lb).
Jaguar
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat of the genus Panthera, native to the Americas.
It has a robust, muscular body with a large head and powerful jaws. Its coat is typically yellow or orange with dark spots called rosettes. Jaguars are excellent swimmers and are known for their strength and agility in the wild.
