Lions don't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep because they slaughter them. AKA the big cat thread

I would rank female lions over male lions, them bitches do all the murdering.

 

Tigers >>>>>>> Lions

 

pretty weak showing by those guys. where was this a leopard colony?

 

To be fair I think most animals would get out of the way of that.

 

applicable to thread title imo

 

Hey guys, just over here being the fastest land animal. Like, on the entire planet.

 

Tigers = Weak SoS

Gotta survive in Africa (The SEC of the Animal World) to truly be #1.

 

They put a couple Asian tigers in Africa that they took back to Asia after they fucked some shit up and killed a few things in Africa. One of them was named Tiger Woods

 

I remember my mind being blown when I learned about how much more fucking massive most species of tigers are than the other big cats.

Like, twice the size of lions, and 3x larger than jaguars.

 

Bella is the GOAT big cat diary cast member. Leopards were always my favorite part of that show, stealthy bastards.

 

I want a pet clouded leopard, they are so cute I wouldn't even mind when it eventually ate my face.

 

Jaguar is number one for my money. Most powerful bite force of any land mammal, what is not to like? They kill tortoises by biting through the shell.

Also, I feel like we've had this discussion before.

 

and here i was thinking i'd be safe if i just sat in the pool underwater if i was in that leopard attack in OP

 

Never said it was a good plan, but in that moment I would have jumped in, and likely been turned into a red puddle.

 

I don't think frogs accept the opinions of sheep either

 

The Cheetah Experience at Busch Gardens is pretty badass. They basically have a cheetah run down a toy to show off their speed and agility. I never realized how incredible their strides are and how they're insanely thin they are. Much respect for the cheetah ever since.

 

Always found this terrifying and funny. Let me take this tiny stick and throw it at this charging 600lb cat.

 

I believe my gif at the top of the page is similar to what they use at BG, correct?

I watched a show that broke down the perfect stride of the cheetah, everything from the tail movements to ear positioning. It's pretty remarkable.

 

Even the videos don't do it justice. Cheetahs cover like 9 feet in 1 bound or some crazy shit like that

 

Cheetah has a paw like a dog iirc. Doesn't have retractable claws.

 

Bobcats are little. Like, adult males range from 14-40 lbs per wikipedia. I'm sure an average grown man could fight one off with his bare hands and definitely with a stick/torch. Doesn't really matter because those things are scared af of humans though.

 

True or false?

User bricktop would be deceased if his cat were 40 lbs of feral muscle.

 

guys

there is a big cat rescue facility like an hour and a half from me. ohhaithur when are we going?

Off work today. Will be watching big cat docs all day.

Also lions kings?

 

Took these at a zoo in Miami, the second one he's staring through my soul.

 

Then of course Pelican 's favorites.. Tigers

 

That tiger is like heyoo scratch these nuts

 

You checking that things prostate in the last pic?

Also your face, we want to see your face.

 

I'd do either one of those before I got anywhere near their heads. That's when bad things happen.

And pretty sure my face is on TMB.

 

I always thought it was sad how a lot of big cats live solitary lives except when they breed or fight over territory and then I grew up and realized what a wonderful existence it must be.

 

that head looks like a damn pit bull

 

Big fan of this thread. Big cats are a force of nature

 

Growing up my one (wack job) uncle and aunt had a puma, they lived out in the middle of the pine lands in Jersey. Had this really large enclosure for it. I went out to see it a few times, never got really close to touch it but close enough. It would stalk you as you walked up to it. Very big cat. I was young but was scared and also in awe of it. Name was Samantha.

 

4:35 part is intense.

 

Watching something on cheetahs now. Can cover a 1/2 mile in 17 seconds, but would probably over heat and die if it ran any longer than that.

 

I feel like HotMic and I are the only ones on Team Cheetah. That's ok, cream rises to the top

 

i adore cheetahs

 

Why do guys hate cats so much? They're essentially tiny versions of these badass creatures. I've got a tiny cat and she's a fucking warrior. Every time she gets out of the house she brings me a mole or a bird.
