Has a stronger bite force lion or tiger?
Tiger (1,050 psi)
They are the largest big cat, and with a bite force of around 1,050 psi, they bite almost twice as hard as lions do. Perhaps that's why lions hunt in packs to take down their prey, while tigers are perfectly content — and efficient — flying solo.

How cheetahs protect there cubs?
Cubs are usually reared in hidden areas like bushes and small caves. The cubs lay hidden and don't make any sound when their mother is out hunting. The mother cheetah frequently moves its young ones to ensure that other large predators like lions or hyenas don't pick up the scent of young ones and kill them.
In spite of all the effort from the mother, nearly 70% or more cubs get killed in the first year
The Jungle cat, otherwise known as the "swamp lynx", is a medium-sized cat that is found in savannahs and dry tropical forests (not rainforests), usually in West and Central Asia. However, the Jungle cat is not large and is not spotted.

What is the favorite meat to leopards?
The leopard feeds mainly with boars and deer, and sometimes with birds and rodents. He hunts alone, at night, and always in ambush. He can make really high and long jumps, also can climb and swim. All that combined with his accuracy and speed and tactics of attack, almost always guarantees him food.
The leopard hides his food from hyenas and other animals by leaving it on trees. Usually he never attacks humans, but sometimes there are human casualties. Sometimes they even get to populated places and attack cattle.
Leopards, colloquially known as black panthers, are the smallest of the four so called big cats. Leopards are either all black or mostly dark in color and are located in Asia, Africa and parts of Europe. But what do leopards eat. This article will answer the question what do leopards eat .
First, let's look at the question what do leopards eat. Leopards are carnivores and hunt a variety of different animals. The main diet of leopards are ungulates and monkeys, although they have been known to eat over 100 species of different animals. Some of the more common foods eaten by leopards include rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. Leopards have also been known to eat small insects such as dung beetles and large animals such as 800kg giant elands. Pythons are also occasionally eaten by leopards. Leopards may also hunt a single dog, although packs of dogs can chase away (and occasionally kill) a leopard.
Organisms that produce food for energy internally are producers. Organisms that eat for energy are consumers. Cats are consumers, like all animals, and they eat meat for energy and nutrients.
What are cheetahs big cats or dogs?

In some zoos they live in enclosures that are mainly grass with a bit of dirt, while in others they have small pools or creeks so they can get in the water, and ledges of some kind that they can climb. Others still have either real or man made boulders, caves, grass, dirt and usually some type of water source for them to cool off in. Most zoos try to make sure the enclosure is a place that the animals can exercise all their natural abilities safely, while allowing for future development, if it becomes clear the big cats needs more room. This is not the case with all zoos, but the larger more modern zoos have moved towards this type of mission statement for all their species. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Felis are for smaller cats while pantheriae are bigger cats It is unknown is cheetah a big, or small cat
i guess it would depend on where they live. for example, the lion, they have short hair becasue they live in a hot place. Snow leapards have thick fur because they live in cold places.
Sand cats, as in the wild cats in the desert, eat rodents, lizards, birds, and insects, usually rodents. They can go for months on just the water in their food, though they will drink water when it is available.

Where there any big cats ever in the wild in the Philippines?
No. Except the tiger (species unknown) on the island of Palawan, due to it's close proximity to Borneo, but that was before the Holocene period (contemporary geological period) which begun more than 12,000 years ago. Of course Palawan is quite some distance from most of the Philippines. In terms of Luzon, Visaya and mainland Mindanao, there appears to be no geological fossil record supporting the presence of tigers, and no contemporary reports of their existence in the wild. It seems strange as you would have thought that the Philippines would have been an ideal tiger territory in its virgin state of wilderness several thousand years ago. That having been said it is geographically located at some distance from mainland Asia and due to it's geological history probably broke away long before tiger populations reached it.
What is the locomotion of a cat?
The abdomen region of a grasshopper consists of the wings, tympanum, spiracles, and two pairs of legs. The wings, tympamnum, spiracles, and legs are used for locomotion of the grasshopper.
Adult cougars can grow to be between five to nine feet from head to tail. The males can weigh about 150 pounds while the females weigh around 100 pounds. Cougars live in different habitats that include deserts and mountain regions.
What are cheetahs defensive mechanisms?
When threatened by animals such as lions, they can use their incredible speed to run away to avoid injury, but a mother cheetah with cubs is a different story. They can become very feirce, and will use their speed to swerve and dash around the lion, frightening it with occasional blows from the claws. They have been known to either "freak out" other predators and send them running away, or run away themselves, simply to avoid injury.
Wild animals that depend on movement more than color to recognize prey have more rods than cones in the eye. If you don't have cones then you can't see color. If you have lots of rods you can see movement and in the dark easier.
