There are seven big cats, which are the large-bodied felids that belong to the subfamily Pantherinae. The seven big cats are:

1. Lion (Panthera leo)
2. Tiger (Panthera tigris)
3. Jaguar (Panthera onca)
4. Leopard (Panthera pardus)
5. Snow leopard (Panthera uncia)
6. Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)
7. Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi)

These big cats are some of the largest and most fierce apex predators in the world, but they are also under threat from habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
