🐆Big cats
Büyük kediler (Pantherinae), kedigiller (Felidae) familyasındaki, ağırlığı bazen birkaç yüz kiloya kadar varan kedi türleri. Boyutlardaki büyük farklara rağmen kedi türleri davranış ve yapı bakımından pek fark göstermezler. Bütün kediler Karnivor ve süper avcıdır. En büyük kediler Panthera cinsinin üyeleridir. Büyük kedi teriminin eski bir tanımı sadece Panthera'nın 5 üyesinden oluşur: Kaplan, aslan, pars, kar parsı ve jaguar (bunların dışındakileri sadece fiziksel büyüklükleri yüzünden büyük kedi demek gerekir). Başka kediler yapamazken bu cinse ait kediler kükreyebilirler. Sonuç olarak kükreme yeteneği bazen "büyük kediler"in ayırt edici bir özelliği olarak sayılmaktadır. Avrasya vaşağı gibi 55 kg. kadar olabilen bazı orta boy kediler bir evcil kediye göre bayağı büyük olsalar da "büyük kediler"den sayılmazlar.
