Big Cats
All the big cats are mammals. Some different
types are lions, tigers, and jaguars. Tigers
and jaguars live alone. Lions do not live alone
but live together in family groups. Often there
is one big male as the leader of the group.
Many of the females in the group will have
their babies.
It is the mother cat's job to look after the
baby animals and to go out and hunt for
food. Often the father does not go near the
babies. His job is to keep enemies away
from his little ones. For example, if an
elephant comes too near, a father lion may
roar and run at it. The elephant can see that
she is not welcome in that area.
If a lion came running and roaring up to me,
I would run away as fast as I could. What
would you do?
