Felidae
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Felidae is a family of carnivorous mammals, in the order Carnivora. Animals that belong to Felidae are called felines.
A example of a feline is the cat. More examples of felines are the big cats - the panthera (lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar), puma, and cheetah - and other wild cats, for example the lynx, caracal, and bobcat. All felines, also the small pet cat, are predators that can hunt many animals.
There are 37 species of felines in the world today. The tiger is largest member of the Felidae family found in nature, aside from the Liger, a Lion/Tiger mix.
