Siberian Tiger
One of the most threatened of all the cat species, the Siberian Tiger is
also the largest. Males may reach 12 feet in length and up to 700 lbs in
weight. This is also the only tiger that's habitat is below freezing. It
is estimated that there are only 500 individuals remaining in the wild, a
number which may be to low to sustain the species genetic viability.
White Tiger
White tigers are actually Bengal Tigers that carry an unusual gene that
determines their coat's color. Solitary in nature, they hunt mostly at
night. Unfortunately, no known white tigers exist in the wild, The
only ones thought left are found in captivity. They have become big
circus attractions
Bengal Tiger
The endangered Bengal tiger faces an unknown future in its habitat of
Asia. This large cat has been hunted for many years as poachers are able
to sell some its body parts for profit. While conservational steps have
been implemented, inbreeding and continued hunting threaten it's survival.

Spotted Jaguar
- 9.5" long
The Jaguar is native to South and Central America. Like most of the other
large cats, it is threatened as its habitat is being destroyed by man. It
is shorter and stockier than the other large cats but remains an effective
predator. They are very versatile hunters, capable of swimming and
climbing trees to catch prey.

Black
Jaguar - 9.5" long
Like many of the other large cats, hunting has decimated the population of
the Black Jaguar. While they were once found in the southern United
States, they are now only present in Mexico to South America. Their roar
is much more faint than that of other large cat species, sounding like a
cough.

Mountain Lion
- 8.5" long
The most widely distributed wild cat in the Americas. These
predators grow up to 8 feet in length and can weigh as much as 150 lbs.

continues to encroach upon the lions' natural wild habitat, they have
attacked humans.
