Top Ten Deadliest Big Cats

Across America, Europe, Asia and Africa, all over the world the top ten deadliest of the amazing family. The big cats!
The Top Ten
1 Bengal Tiger

This cat is absolutely the top predator in its environment and is known to attack people. Once attacks were so common. The tigers used to attack the people from the back, so people started wearing backward facing masks so the tigers would think that the person was watching them. It worked for a while but the tigers realised that it was just a mask so the attacks continued. So...... SMART.

Ya know? Muscle-wise, Bengal Tiger is the strongest tiger, even if Siberian Tiger is larger. And definitely VERY DANGEROUS!
Tigers HAVE to be stronger than lions; they hunt on their own and keep up their strength. Lion does not; he got his girls to do that.
Did you know? Bengal tigers regularly climb the straightest and tallest of trees faster than leopards? BETCHA didn't know that!
So they exercise a lot and keep up their strength.
And guys, a Bengal tiger's diet has a wide variety.
1. Large deer.
2. Rabbits
3. Pythons
4. Sloth Bears
5. Baby elephants (adults too, though rarely)
6. Baby rhinos (adults too, though rarely)
7. Panthers
8. Wolves
9. Fox
10. CROCODILES!
Tigers are capable of killing almost ANY animal in the world. TIGERS RULE!

2 Lion The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related... read more

Coming in second only to the tiger lions are no push over. From birth the male lion is destined to fight for his life, chased out of his pride by dominant male (usually his father) or those that take over (which means he'll leave much earlier:(). The females do most of the hunting and most people might call the males lazy, but keep in mind that when a rival male comes along and defeats the dominant male, he will kill all cubs, so the male has to be fit for the fight. Comparing it to the tiger, I'll admit the bigger cat has a slight advantage in terms of size, power, bite force etc. The lion would come out on top in speed and its ROAR!. In a fight the odds are in the tiger's favour although there have been too little recorded fights between the two cats to really establish a sure winner, basically the sample is too small! Also consider lions roll in prides, might be an unfair fight but hey what is?

Now to why I voted for the lion, first let me say I love all the cats but this one just comes on top for me. You can't say majesty and royalty without talking about this feline. It has this regal appearance and boy does he act like it! A harem of queens ready to feed you and walking on the savanna plains like he owns them.

Let us not forget the bigger picture here, we might squabble about which is the better feline but we're destroying their habitats and endangering these beautiful animals. I suggest you find out what small role you can play to ensure that they survive and be cats we LOVE them for!

3 Siberian Tiger The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is a tiger population inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region with a small population in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East.

Absolutely amazing hunters and the biggest cat in the world. These things are strong, and can probably beat a bear in a fight. Not to deal with.

A Siberian Tiger has the endurance to survive in some of the coldest conditions and is the biggest species of tiger. It can also climb, swim, run and jump with the athletic ability of a much smaller cat. The Siberian tiger is a creature that can out run any man, out swim any man and out climb any man. Lion's do so well because of there numbers, cheetah's because of there speed and leopards because of there havens in trees and up mountains. Tigers live alone and hunt animals that most predators couldn't kill in a group. Tigers are the perfect hunters and before man were top of the food chain.

I think Siberian tigers are more deadly than Bengal tigers because of their sizes in nature. It has be scientifically proven that Siberian tigers are the largest of all cats and Can kill a grizzly bear. imagine comparing a grizzly and lion so I think if a Siberian tiger can kill a bear it should be number 1 because lions are bunch of lazy animals and males do nothing than sleep for 20 hrs and kill other animals like cheetahs o hunt elephants when they are very hungry. tigers mainly rule the world and also big. Cats so losers to those who support lions tigers rule YES!

4 Jaguar The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) and a weight of up to 158 kg (348 lb), it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world. Its distinctively marked coat features pale yellow to tan colored fur covered by spots that transition to rosettes... read more

Despite my small dislike for jaguars, I believe that they are one of the most deadly cats. These animals can and will eat caimans regularly. Their jaws can crush even the toughest armour and skin. If I ever saw one, I'd start running.

If you see the sentence that starts out with "I 100% love jaguars! ", you should vote for it. The jaguar is the most feared predator in South America. It could crack a skull of dear and wild boar, and can do the same to us. EEK! Their temper is very nasty. They're better than leopards because they're bigger, stronger, heavier and deadlier than leopards (even lions and tigers, and all the other cats on this list). Here are some reasons why the jaguar is the deadliest cat in the world: 1) He has a very scary temper. 2) He would attack people who want to take their skin. 3) He could fight animals that are twice its size. 4) He got his name from the Indian word "jaguara" which means "beast that kills in a single bound".

5 Liger

These are even bigger than Siberian tigers, but aren't a pure breed so the Siberian tiger is classified bigger. However if we're talking about all cats, hybrids included this beasties reaches first place.

The liger is a big, big cat (bigger than tiger or lion), but it is not as deadly as other wild cats. As a hybrid, it has many medical disorders and lacks the ability of true born hunting as it was not born in the wild. I could imagine that if it was born wild it would be ferocious, but the only area where that could happen is in a small forest in western India. But the lion species here (the Asian lion) is much smaller and the tiger would probably kill it. Although this, still don't put your guard down if you see this big cat.

A mixture of both top deadliest cats only makes a more improved cat that is much more stealthy and has a much larger size. The sheer weight of a lion, the stealth of a tiger, both cats have a powerful bound that can snap the neck of unfortunate prey in an instant. With both the fangs of a lion and the claws of tiger and the itelligence of both, this truly is a top predator.

6 Snow Leopard The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), also known as the ounce, is a felid in the genus Panthera native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040. It is threatened by poaching and habitat destruction following infrastructural... read more

I like them because they are cute and I like cold places and snow leaopard actually lives in cold places. And they are so awesome!

I think the snow leopard is the best animal ever and I hate anyone who does not think so.

They live in the remote mountains of China and Mongolia. They are not that dangerous, especially to humans

7 Leopard The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is one of the most adaptable and the most widespread big cat; it's secrets being:well camouflaged fur; its opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength to move heavy carcasses into trees; its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rain-forest to steppe and including arid and mountainous areas; and to run at... read more

These animals hide and store their catch and food in trees so other animals like lions or hyenas can't come and eat their food. I believe that they are the smartest of the big cats.

The black panther is the most dominant and deadly big cat out of any. They are very intelligent and are virtually invisible at night when they hunt, this is due to their dark black fur. They are the best climbers and can ambush prey from the trees. They have very powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth as well as nails. They are fast, aggressive, and very agile. They can adapt to any climate in the world such as jungles, swamps, rainforests, mountains, deserts, and more. They are nicknamed ghosts of the forests. They are primarily solitary animals and are very protective when it comes to their territory. Panthers fear nothing and are rarely preyed on by other species and that is only due to an invasion of their privacy or territory. From these facts I conclude that the panther is the dominant big cat, the only other cat that can take its place is the Bengal tiger.

8 Amur Leopard Found in the Russian Far East and parts of China, this leopard subspecies is critically endangered with only a few dozen individuals remaining in the wild. It is known for its distinctive spotted coat, which is paler than that of other leopards. It is a solitary animal, mainly preying on deer and small mammals.

I think they are the most dangerous cats on the planet even though they are endangered they still have the same right to earn a top place. I read online and even saw a picture that a Amur leopard had killed 15 birds, 5 wild cats and 2 humans trying to make it a third.

If you do live in Asia don't worry too much because these are the third (almoast second) most endangered animals in the world. With only just over ten left you woulds be lucky to find one. That is a lot more endangered than the tiger, there are still about two and a half thousand of them left.

The fast & furious beast that can survive in extremely cold climates..
Their geographical conditions can make an efficient & fast predators with higher stamina

9 Cougar The cougar, also commonly known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas.

These big cats can outsmart people just like tigers so keep out of this cats way.

FUN FACT!
These cats are found in all the americas! We bet you didn't know!

Cougars are specifically known for pouncing above you in the mountains usually landing on your back and bitting your neck, from there, well, I think it likes human buffet. However, we must compare it's size and strength to that of lions and leopards. When you think enough, it doesn't stand a chance.

Mountain Lions live literally within the city limits in several areas of western North America, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. This makes them incredibly dangerous to small children and pets.

10 Smilodon Smilodon was a saber-toothed cat from North and South America that lived 1.5 million to 10,000 years ago. It had a short tail, but very strong legs and paws for catching big prey. It was also 7.2 feet (2.2 meters) from nose to tail.

Smilodon's two main front teeth were up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) long. They were very sharp, but quite thin. Smilodon probably used them to stab into its victim,... read more

Smilodons themselves are by far deadlier than lions and tigers. I mean, for Pete Sake, they have fangs! However, I think deadly means killing humans and stuff like those (please correct me if I am wrong, if you do, this is number one). In that case, the smilodon is extinct so it didn't kill any humans.

Smilodon-! How can you not say it's the deadliest cat that ever lived. I mean, HELLO! Teeth up to 11 inches big. One bite from this creature and your dead-Smilodon chow.

Smilodon or, Sabertooth Cats, are the largest cats I KNOW. Also, I THINK they have some of the biggest carnivore teeth ever!

The Contenders
11 Sumatran Tiger A critically endangered subspecies of tiger, the Sumatran Tiger is native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is the smallest of all tiger subspecies and is distinguished by its thick, dark stripes. Its primary diet includes deer, wild boar, and other large mammals.

Shows no mercy if you scratch his CD.

The 3rd biggest tiger
2 bengal tiger
1 siberian tiger they are very powerful and strong cats

Size doesn't matter

12 Cheetah The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat and native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph) with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h (58 and 61 mph), and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail. It typically reaches 67–94 cm... read more

These guys are not as strong so they are not too deadly. I read in a book that these cuties do not have a fight response when it comes to notice a human from a safe distance. More of these awesome cats are tamed. But I respect others opinion so no hating.

Can you people cut the cheetah some slack? They are not built for fighting they are built for running. Anyway they are more incredible than all the big cats combined.

No, no, no! People, seriously. Cheetahs are actually mostly harmless to humans! They don't attack people unless directly threatened. They're hardly dangerous at all.

13 Tigon A hybrid animal resulting from the crossbreeding of a male tiger and a female lion, the Tigon inherits traits from both parents, such as a mane from the lion side and striping from the tiger side. The Tigon's size falls between that of its parent species and they are usually sterile.

They are awesome! They are babies of a lion and a tiger!

! People their are no such thing as a Tigon

Tion and liver. Same thing!

14 Liliger

17 Cave Lion An extinct species of lion that once inhabited Eurasia, the Cave Lion is known from fossil evidence and ancient cave paintings. It was slightly larger than the modern African lion and is believed to have been a top predator in its ecosystem, preying on large mammals like deer and bison.
18 American Lion

Wait wait how can it be at less than lion? And someone wrote I didn't know that there are lions at America It is not a lion at real

I didn't know that there is a lion that lives in America.

Other wise known as Mountain Lion, Cougar, or Puma.

19 Saber-Toothed Cat

These actually aren't cats! Look it up! Sorry, on TopTens it's really hard to get the 'period' key on the keyboard to work so I use exclaimation points

21 Javan Tiger
22 American Cheetah
23 Malayan Tiger
24 Sunda Clouded Leopard
25 Ngandong Tiger
