Panthera onca Panthera is a genus of the family Felidae (the cats), which contains four well-known species: the tiger, lion, leopard, and jaguar. The genus comprises about half of the big cats. One meaning of the word 'panther' is to designate cats of this family - though it can also mean large black cats - see black panther. Only these four cat species have the anatomical changes enabling them to roar, due to a modification of the shape of their hyoid bone.
