Answer 1

The cheetah is the worlds fastest land animal it is also the only cat that can't retract its claws

The largest feline ever recorded is a captive Siberian tiger named "Jaipur." He is 10 feet 11 inches long and weighs 420 kilogrammes! "Jaipur" lives is New Jersey.

Today there are about 100 distinct breeds of the domestic cat.
The ancestor of all domestic cats is the African Wild Cat, which still exists today


Cheetah All cheetahs are nearly identical genetically, like clones, even though they don't cross-breed. In fact, the cheetah is the purest of natural animal breeds. Cheetahs are so alike genetically that any one of them will accept a skin graft from any other.

Lion Lions near Lake Manyara in Tanzania climb trees to get above the flies. They are the only lions that do that.
Lions (Africa and India) are the second largest of the big cats
A tigress or Tigers
Fur patterns on the cheeks of tigers are as varied as fingerprints.
No one knows exactly why tigers are striped, but scientists think that the stripes act as camouflage, and help tigers hide from their prey. The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes of all the tiger subspecies, and the Siberian tiger has the fewest stripes. Tiger stripes are like human fingerprints; no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes.

Tigers (Asia) are the largest of the big cats. White tigers are a variation of the Bengal species of tiger
Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers.


puma ,Four other names of the puma include the cougar, catamount, mountain lion, and Florida panther.
bobcat'
The puma cat (North and South America) can also be called a mountain lion, cougar, or panther

snow leopards' The snow leopard (Central Asia), or snow cat, is one of the most beautiful of the big cats, with its silvery spotted coat.



The jaguar is the largest cat and top terrestrial predator in the Western Hemisphere.
Jaguars, like leopards, are known for their elegant, spotted coat. Normally yellow and tan, the coat can also vary from a reddish brown color to black. Spotting is highly variable and the black rosettes can sometimes include one or several dots.Jaguars (North and South America) are some of the largest wild cats in the Americas.



At least two different types of big cats are called black panthers. Jaguars and leopards both can be solid black, and both are called black panthers. The black pigmentation of the coat is called “melanism.” It can be seen in other wild cats, such as the common bobcat, as well as jaguars and leopards, although these are two of the biggest. Therefore, there is really no one species of big cats known as a black panther.
