The term "big cats" typically refers to members of the Pantherinae subfamily, which includes lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and snow leopards. While jaguars are found in the Amazon, they are the only member of the Pantherinae subfamily that lives there.
However, there are other large cat species that inhabit the Amazon, including:
* Ocelot: A medium-sized cat with a distinctive spotted coat.
* Margay: A small, arboreal cat with a distinctive spotted coat and a long, bushy tail.
* Puma: A large, solitary cat that is found throughout the Americas.
* Jaguarundi: A slender, long-legged cat with a short, rounded tail.
While these cats aren't considered "big cats" in the strict sense, they are still impressive predators that play an important role in the Amazon ecosystem.
