Most Amazing Big Cats

The Top Ten
1 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 ...read more.

Cheetahs aren't actual big cats, since they don't have a Hyoid bone, which makes them roar. How is a big cat amazing if it can't even roar? The only reason you're voting for the cheetah is because it's fast. Yes, it is, but what about the other factors? I think the perfect simile is an aerodynamic/ streamlined balloon; it is fast, light, vulnerable, and air filled(bird-like feature) (in fact, so much air, where's the brain? )

Cheetahs are the most incredible animals ever. Why aren't they first?
They can run a top speed of 72 miles per hour. They also have tear lines. Those lines protect the cheetahs eyes from the sun. Same with football players. They put that black grease under their eyes for the same reason cheetahs do. That is why I say I have the eye of the cheetah because they are incredible animals.

Okay now they are first. I was the person who put that comment above. They deserve to be first. They can run a top speed of 72 miles per hour. What is cool about tigers? Nothing! Whats cool about lions? Nothing! They kill cheetahs and also their own kind. Cheetahs should be reconized throughout this Universe because of their speed. They should get their names in sayings like I've got the eye of the cheetah instead of eye of the tiger. If you love cheetahs, you guys have the eye of the cheetah.

Who CARES if the cheetah can't roar, it doesn't need to act superior like the other big cats. It's dappled pelt flashes across the savannah and with deadly accuracy, pounces on it's prey. If it targets you, there is like 99.9999% chance you're DEAD. And they ARE still big cats, DUH.

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 females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator; although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, the species typically does not actively seek out and prey on humans. ...read more.

Your wrong lions are amazing in many ways. Male lions have manes around their necks that protect them. They hunt in packs (as you said) and they are the loudest because of their roar!

The is a strong animal. BUT it is not that amazing. In fact the only amazing factor is that they hunt in packs, and that's not really amazing - many animals hunt in packs

The lion is the finest and strongest many people don't see that but I believe in it and I will tell you now to believe it too

Lions over every single existing animal though I still like the others

3 Tiger The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat, which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years, then become independent and leave their mother's home range to establish their own. ...read more.

Lions are by far the ugliest animals. Lions fur coat looks like a filthy rug. No patterns, nothing. Lions look like overgrown ugly dogs. How can you even call a lion a cat or beautiful. The fact lion fans had to vote tiger, just to comment "lions are better", already shows and proves that tigers are truly the best big cat, that even take votes from people from their own supposed favorite! Tigers are the most beautiful animal on this planet, the cutest animals, anybody can see that with their own two eyes and most people agree regardless of what a few blind bastards think.

The movies all got it wrong. They're always droning on about the bad evil tiger and the brave, noble lion who saves the world. I mean, seriously? That's only on stupid Disney movies. If you seriously think a lion is that much better than a tiger you are a non-lit un-MLG scrub/prick that can't quickscope, trickshot, or 360 noscope.

The Lion is the best animal and big cat in the universe. Lion stick together as pride. Male lions are not lazy because there mane is too hevey. The lion cubs are the cutest big cat ever. Lions do not need any pattern to look nice.

The lion is NOT the best big cat. It is the tiger. Tigers rule lions in everyway dude. They are lazy, Tigers are the most beautiful animal on this planet.

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 on the sides, although a melanistic black coat appears in some individuals. The jaguar's powerful bite allows it to pierce the carapaces of turtles and tortoises, and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of mammalian prey between the ears to deliver a fatal ...read more.

The jaguar has the strongest bite force of all cats. They climb trees, leaping on their prey from above. They will fight crocodiles and anacondas. They have powerful muscles, and are mysterious. Their coat patterns help them hide in the jungle undergrowth. They have incredibly keen senses, and as loners, have amazing hunting abilities. Their motherly instincts are very protective, and some have black coats. These black jaguars live better in the shadowy parts of the jungle, because that is where their coat truly work when it come to camouflage.

They are really amazing! they have a bite force of 1500pounds or something like that.strongest bite force of all feline,second place in all mammals

I love jaguars

Smart big cats

5 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 ...read more.

Snow Leopards are rare and exotic creatures - even the pattern of their coat is TOTALLY unique!
Unlike the other big cats, snow leopards live high up in the mountains and on steep slopes; a snow leopard in action is honestly just an INCREDIBLE sight! (Planet Earth watches, anyone? ) They leap incredibly fast, landing and falling on nearly ninety-degree angled slopes!
They're intelligent and INCREDIBLY stealthy. This rare and beautiful beast, although endangered, is very difficult to find in the wild as they keep to solitude so their numbers don't decline very rapidly. The mountains aren't seeming to vanish and hunters rarely make their way up such steep slopes in an attempt to find them.
INCREDIBLE cats!
(I was really between snow leopard and tiger, but I just had to say snow leopard. This cat in action makes every other cat seem so lame - YES, even the cheetah... surprising to me that it's on top! )

They are so cute, and just look at that face! Snow leopards can leap the length of a school bus, and it's really cool. Also I don't know if snow leopard is a species if leopard.

A snow leopard isn't a species of Leopard. It was removed from the Honorable Leopard Dynasty millenia ago.

They are the most majestic creatures EVER!

6 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 ...read more.

The Leopard is the most amazing for a number of reasons. They are:
The leopard is the most adaptable, the most widespread, and the smartest. They are also pound for pound the strongest of all big cats. All this information can be verified very easily. The Discovery channel keeps showing leopards. That's because the leopard has as many secrets as a dragon, and new awesome facts are being found all the time. The leopard should definitely be the Most Amazing. The leopard hunts pythons, for god's sake. Isn't USA full of those beasts? You should be voting for the leopard as a thank you!

The Leopard is the most amazing. Proof given below.

Pound for pound leopards are the strongest big cat. This means if all the big cats where the same size and weight, the leopard would be the strongest. Proof: a leopard can carry an animal thrice its weight.
A leopard is the most widespread big cat of them all. Proof: hey live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India (panthera pardus fusca), Sri Lanka (panthera pardus kotiya) and China (panthera pardus japonensis).
They are the most adaptable. Proof: they are incredible swimmers, excellent tacticians at hunting, stealthy and live in rainforests, deserts, woodlands, grassland savannas, forests, mountain habitats, coastal scrubs, shrub lands and swampy areas. In brief, leopards live in more places than any other big cat.
They are the smartest: they go to the place where they were born before they die, they use clever hunting tactics, and they climb trees as defense.

See reality, my friends.

Leopards are the best they can kill a gorilla, beat 4 lions they live any where!

They are magnifecent animals,beautiful fur makes them very good-looking animals.I had liked them since I was little.

7 Panther 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.

Panthers and cougars are same thing

8 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.

Cougars aren't real big cats since they don't have a Hyoid bone. Heh, heh, heh

9 Clouded Leopard Native to the foothills of the Himalayas and parts of China and Southeast Asia, the Clouded Leopard is known for its beautiful cloud-like spots on its coat. It's an agile climber and spends much of its time in trees. It preys on a variety of animals including small mammals and birds.

They are just cute cats.

10 Liger

Ligers should be on first of the list

The Contenders
11 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.

Ligers are the best wild cats in the world

12 Bobcat The bobcat is a North American cat that appeared during the Irvingtonian stage of around 1.8 million years ago.
