The BBC’s Natural History Unit gives us this look at various wild cats all over the world.
These range from the lions of Tanzania, which are the only cat species that live in groups, to the Sri Lankan rusty spotted cat which is 200 times smaller than lions but are just as curious, and the Canadian lynx – the most northerly of the cats.
Among the highlights are an African leopard that has been fitted with a collar so it can tracked throughout its life.
Big Cats is on BBC One at 20.00.
