what about the tiger, ,jaguar ,panther ,cougar, puma, bobcat, lynx, kodkod, and all the other cats?

[bigcatweek]

@LaCedric402 Those animals don't reside in Africa.

I know that Kiko is bigger than the her cubs, but in other instances with big cats... how can he tell the difference?

[bigcatweek]

@Munn2 Spot markings, every cheetah has a different.spot layout, coat colour can help identify too - Honey for example had a distinct Honey coloured coat. Jonathan would often sketch and photograph the cheetahs as he was following them so he had a reference to match up with the big cats later on, it is still a great method to ID them despite the technology saturated age. Having said that leopards can be a whole different ball game.

@Oats04 cougars aren't big cats?? I thought they were...

[SoldierM7]

why don't they attack you?

[Oats04]

@LaCedric402

a panther is a black coated either leopard or jaguar

a cougar is the same thing as a puma

a bobcat is a type of lynx

kodkod, cougar(puma), and bobcats(lynx) arent big cats

You're right, they should do a Big cat weekly on jaguars or tigers too

[Fozzymillow]

Go, momma Topi! That was a pretty cool moment.

@DutchSapphire That's correct, BCW is the next series from BCD, I think I have the playlists dated in the descriptions.

[DutchSapphire]

@bigcatweek Is BCW directly after BCD? or is there a serie in between?
