They number about 41 species including large animals such as the lion (Panthera Leo) and the tiger (Panthera Tigris), as well as smaller ones such as the bobcat(Lynx Rufus) and the domestic cat (Felis catus). as with all animals, species within Felidae provide a larger benefit to the ecosystem and to humans while pursuing their own individual purpose of survival, maintenance, and reproduction.Ecologically, as apex predators at the top of food chain As usually diagrammed, organisms are connected by arrows representing the direction of biomass transfer.
