Introduction: Sleazy, stealthy, patient, and intelligent, wild cats are natural killers. Most of them hunt on their own, using their claws and teeth to stab and cut up their prey. They have muscular bodies that are well adapted to running, leaping, etc. They live in various habitats across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the USA.
Small Wild Cats: More than three-quarters of the world’s wild cats are classified as "small." The 30 different species have adapted to their environment. Small wild cats include lynx, puma, caracal, cheetah, etc.
Big Wild Cats: Big cats include lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards. They all live alone, except for lions, which live in a large group called a "pride." The largest known big cats are Amur and Bengal tigers, which can weigh the same as 100 domestic cats.
