The snow leopard can leap 30 feet from standstill?

The cheetah is the only cat that cannot retract its claws.

The roar of a tiger can be heard more than a mile away.

The Amur tiger is the largest cat in the world. From head to tail, it can grow up to thirteen feet long.

The only cats that roar are the lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar.

The only part of it I would not want to be responsible for is the dry cleaning bill for the solicitor's pants after he/she was greeted by the barking cougar!

Lol!

The cougars I have worked with make a sound that is a hybrid between a meow and a weak bark. Kind of a short 'hoooooouuuw'. They will 'talk' to you this way, and you can talk back-- it is an easy sound to make once you have heard it. And can they purr! Other than that, they tend to be very quiet cats.

anyone seen Duma, boy and pet movie about a cheetah. It's great. Pua listened intently during the hog attack scene. She was listening to all the other animal noises too but that really got her attention.
