Big cats are majestic, aloof and mysterious. They are some of the world’s biggest on-land animals and some of the world’s biggest predators.
Today, there are 7 big cat species in the wild. These 7 big cat species are: 1) tigers, 2) snow leopards, 3) leopards, 4) mountain lions, 5) lions, 6) cheetahs, and 7) jaguars. Some of these big cats are endangered, such as tigers and snow leopards. While other big cats such as lions, are vulnerable to extinction today. It would be hard to imagine a world without these beautiful animals.
These different big cat species are found in different continents of the world. Tigers are found in Asia, primarily in countries like India. Snow leopards are also found in Asia, in countries such as China. Mountain lions are found throughout the Americas, both in North America and Latin America. Cheetahs are found in both Africa and Asia. While jaguars are also found in Latin America, they are especially found within the Amazon rainforest.
Big cats have a presence across the world, and with that, make their beautiful environment, such as the Amazon rainforest, even more beautiful when they grace their presence with it. All big cat species are beautiful, but here is a list of the top 5 most beautiful big cat species.
#5 Jaguars
One of the most peaceful and beautiful views in nature is seeing a jaguar resting on a tree in the Amazon rainforest - it is an image of heaven on earth.
For this reason, Jaguars are not just one of the most beautiful big cats in the world, they are one of the worlds most beautiful animals in the wild today.
#4 Leopards
Leopards and jaguars look very similar, but leopards have a lighter colour of fur than jaguars. These big cats have an instantly recognisable fur pattern which stands out in the natural world.
Their fur has been viewed by people the world over as beautiful, as the leopard print is probably the most used animal print in the fashion industry, worn by people as things like dresses.
#3 Lions
Out of all of the big cats, lions are the easiest to distinguish out of all of the big cats, thanks to the big mane that the male lions have. The manes of the lions make these big cats look stunning in the African lion.
The Asiatic lion has a smaller mane than their African cousins.
#2 Snow Leopards
Snow Leopards are probably the most unique big cat species in the world today, with their grey and white fur with black dots - they have a much lighter coat than all of the other big cats.
Their fur coats can make these cats very hard to see in the wild, they blend in very well into their mountainous environment, which makes them very difficult to see.
#1 Tigers
Tigers can be hard to spot in the wild, their fur coat blends easily into their environment, which makes it hard for them to be seen much of the time when they are in the wild.
Tigers are gorgeous with their orange and white fur, with their black stripes running through their coat. They are one of the most iconic endangered species.
