The term "Felidae" refers to the family of animals commonly known as cats. This family includes both domestic cats and wild species like lions, tigers, cheetahs, and leopards. Felidae members are known for their sharp retractable claws, keen senses, and powerful bodies, which make them skilled hunters. They are found in various habitats around the world, from forests to savannas. Cats in the Felidae family are typically solitary creatures, although some, like lions, are social and live in groups called prides. They communicate through vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. Felidae species play essential roles in their ecosystems, helping to control prey populations and maintain balance in their environments.
