	Puma and Mountain Lion should be acceptable entries for "cougar."

	If it has 4 types of leopards, I feel like it should also have Siberian, Bengal, etc tigers and other varieties of the big cats. Or else just limit it to the one leopard.

	The four "leopards" are very different species: the true leopard is probably closer to the lion, tiger, and jaguar than to the other "leopards". On the other hand, "panther" should go, because that is just another name for the leopard.

	All these varieties of leopard, yet only one variety of tiger? And what do you consider ocelot and lynx to be?

	^Ocelots and Lynxes are very small compared to the cats in the list. They are not classified in the same group as the true Big Cats

	Bornean Clouded Leopard should not be counted since it is a subspecies of clouded leopard, and not a different species. Panther is just another name for a leopard or jaguar with darker skin due to the melanin (wrong spelling?? ) in its skin. Also, Cheetah, is not a big cat. It can't roar, so it is not considered a big cat.

	Cheetah is also not a big cat. It is not in the family Pantherinae, therefore not a big cat. The only true big cats are in this family. Those in the Panthera genus are the tiger (Panthera tigris), the lion (Panthera leo), the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the jaguar (Panthera onca). In the Uncia genus is the snow leopard (Uncia uncia) and in the Neofelis genus are the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) and the sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), previously known as you have correctly (for once) put the Bornean clouded leopard. Panther should also not be present on the list as it is just a genetic mutant of the jaguar. The cougar is also not a big cat, belonging to the Felidae family, not the Pantheridae.
