The term "big cat" is usually used to refer to felines of the subfamily Pantherinae, particularly those of the genus Panthera, which are distinguished from other Pantherinae and from "small cats" by their size and ability to roar. The only such big cat that lives in the Amazon rainforest is the jaguar, Panthera onca.
