The term 'large cat' can refer to several species of large felines, including the COUGAR (6 letters), TIGER (5 letters), LION (4 letters), JAGUAR (6 letters), LEOPARD (7 letters), and PUMA (4 letters). All of these cats are members of the same family, Felidae, and share many physical characteristics, such as sharp claws and teeth, muscular bodies, and long tails. They also have similar hunting and social behaviors, although they live in different habitats and have different sizes. The COUGAR, TIGER, LION, JAGUAR, LEOPARD, and PUMA are all considered large cats, with the LION being the largest of the group.
