Wild Cats

Vickie Ferguson

Hi everyone. I hope that you will enjoy my pages on the Wild Cats or Felidae. Over time I will endeavor to provide information on all of the 38 species of wild cat. From the well known tigers, lions, panthers, and jaguars to the lesser known sand cat, caracal, and ocelots.
All are similar in body shape, though they come in a variety of sizes. I will also touch on the history of these magnificient creatures.
Please feel free to browse, and send comments.
