🐆Big cats
De store katte (Pantherinae) er en underfamilie inden for kattefamilien. Som navnet antyder omfatter denne gruppe nogle af de større kattedyr. Det er dog ikke størrelsen, der er afgørende for hvilke arter, der tilhører denne gruppe, men deres slægtskab, der viser sig ved DNA-undersøgelser og morfologiske detaljer som bygningen af tungebenet. Derfor hører nogle store kattedyr som puma og gepard ikke til gruppen af store katte.
