Symbol of the predator par excellence and synthesis of strength, elegance and aggression, big cats have fascinated and frightened man since our ancestors took their first steps in the ancient savannahs of Africa. Lions, leopards, tigers and jaguars are actually just some of the representatives of a large family, which also includes medium-small sized hunters, no less interesting than their large cousins. Adapted to capture any prey, cats live in every corner of the planet, from the frozen forests of the far north to the driest deserts, from the most remote places to the edges of our big cities, leading a more varied and surprising life than we imagine.
