Members of the Large Cats Subfamily
The Subfamily Pantherinae, or the large cats, include some of the most powerful and well-known cats on Earth:
Genus Neofelis (clouded leopard)
- Neofelis nebulosa (clouded leopard)
Genus Panthera (roaring cats)
- Panthera leo (lion)
- Panthera onca (jaguar)
- Panthera pardus (leopard)
- Panthera tigris (tiger)
- Panthera uncia (snow leopard)
Note: There is some controversy over the classification of the snow leopard. Some schemes place the snow leopard within the Genus Panthera and assign it the latin name of Panthera uncia, while other schemes place it in its own genus, Genus Uncia, and assign it the latin name of Uncia uncia.
