Natural selection in big cats and domestic cats differs primarily due to their environments and lifestyles. Big cats, such as lions and tigers, are apex predators that rely on strength, hunting skills, and territorial behavior to survive and reproduce in the wild. In contrast, domestic cats have undergone selective breeding, resulting in traits that favor companionship, smaller size, and adaptability to human environments. While big cats face natural pressures that shape their survival, domestic cats are influenced more by human preferences and less by the harsh realities of natural selection.
