Did you know that there are many wild cat species in the world? They are different from domesticated cats in that they are not kept as pets and are not reliant on humans for food or shelter. These include lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, pumas, lynxes, ocelots, servals, and caracals. Most of these wild cats are found in Africa, Asia, and South America. Some of them, like the Siberian tiger, the Iberian lynx and the Andean mountain cat, are endangered due to their declining populations.
