big cats

After the tiger, the lion is the second-largest cat. Lions are the only representatives of this family to live and hunt in a pack. Tigers, on the other hand, are usually solitary. Their striking striped markings make them unique – and provide surprisingly perfect camouflage in the undergrowth.     

FOUR PAWS is committed to helping lions, tigers and other big cats worldwide.
