Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars all belong to the same genus Panthera, which is usually thought as the "big cat" family. However, another view also includes the Cheetah, Snow and Clouded Leopard and Cougar as "big cats".

∙ 13y agoThe only cats that are considered the "big" cats are the lion, leopard, tiger and jaguar. These four make up the Pantheragenus, the only genus of cats able to roar.
However, some class the cheetah, snow leopard and cougar to also be in this category, although these cats are not in the Panthera genus.

∙ 12y agoThis is from wikipedia:
The term big cat - which is not a biological classification - is used informally to distinguish the larger cat species from smaller ones. One definition of "big cat" includes the four members of the genus Panthera: the tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar. These "roaring cats" are also sometimes distinguished from the other big cats by the term great cats.
