Big Cat Diary

Post Reply New Topic

Has anybody else seen it? The show first aired on BBC in 1996, and I think it ended in 2008. It has three main cats that it follows: the cheetahs, leopards, and lions. I've been watching the show a lot the past few weeks or so, and I can't help but to favorite the cheetahs for some reason. In every episode it seems, the cheetahs are fearless as hell, climbing all over the jeeps and even peeing in/on them and their occupants.

Here's a clip of the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OyKcqO2dLs (embeding is disabled)
k*e the cheetah first shows up at 3:30

Tigers top my list.

my handle is my childhood nickname (pumi) and part of my last name. When I was a baby I squalled like a puma cat, so I was called "pumi".
Incidentally, I like pumas and black panthers. I really love all big cats as they are cats after all, lol.

I prefer the car. I prefer the Jaguar.

omg you're gonna make me choose a favourite cat?! Cats are my absolute favourite thing in the world, this is an intense decision... I can't decide!

I can, however, state that my least favourite cat is the male Lion. It's the mane, they just don't look as sleek and beautiful as other cats.

I don't know if I've seen that show and youtube is being stupid and won't let me watch it. I'll look into it though because it's definitely something I want to watch now.

Edit: Also, I just noticed that you have cougar, mountain lion, and puma in your list, which are all the same cat. And are not technically "big cats" but that's just being picky on my part so forgive me.

Edit 2: And one last thing is that panthers are not a separate species.

Edit 3: Okay, seriously my last edit but I have decided to vote for "other" because if I absolutely had to choose, my favourite cat is probably the Amur Leopard with the Clouded Leopard in a close second place.

I have seen some of the episodes.
I dont have any favorits, I love them all

I love all of them really but I find the Liger quite fascinating simply because it's part lion and part tiger.




I don't know how he'd fair out in the wild though....

Lions. Because manes are BA and they look totally sweet in reading glasses (well they would if they wore them anyway, but I have seen some nice pictures).
