Panthera

Panthera is a genus within the animal family Felidae, which includes some of the largest and most iconic big cats. Members of Panthera—such as lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars—are distinguished by their ability to roar, thanks to specialized vocal structures. These cats are known for their strength, hunting prowess, and often elusive nature. The genus represents some of the most powerful and widely recognized wild felines, inhabiting regions across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Understanding Panthera helps in conservation efforts, as many species within this genus face threats from habitat loss and poaching.
