    The fist thing that came into my head was the Wolverine, but that's probably cuz I went to the University of Michigan.  Wink

    I love all the big cats!!  The Panther/Leopard (same species actually) is my favorite cuz they not only climb trees, they attack their prey FROM the trees, and store the leftovers up in the trees so that no other predator will finish it off.  Kinda like throwing the rest of the pizza in the fridge for breakfast the next day.

    Being that I'm North American, I also have a very strong affinity to the Puma/Cougar/Mountain Lion (same species, different names).  EVERYTHING about this cat is COOL!!

    The Cheetah is super cool cuz it's super fast!!  And of course, the king's of their respective continents (in order of my personal preference): the Jaguar (South America), the Tiger (Asia), and the Lion (Africa).

    I think you got your cats a little mixed up Billium. The Puma, Cougar, Mountain Lion and Panther all are the same where as the Leopard is different

    Wjones, we're both right, and we're both wrong.  According to Wikipedia:

    A panther can be any of several species of large felid; in North America, the term refers to cougars; in South America, jaguars; and everywhere else, it refers to leopards. Early naturalists distinguished between leopards and panthers not by colour (a common misconception), but by the length of the tail—panthers having longer tails than leopards.

    Zoologically speaking, the term panther is synonymous with leopard.

    Panthera is a genus of the family Felidae (the cats), which contains four well-known living species: the Tiger, the Lion, the Jaguar, and the Leopard.

     

    Confusion may arise from the distinction between the genus Panthera and the genus Leopardus. Originally, the relatively long-tailed species were called panthers (genus Panthera, which includes the leopard) and others were called leopards (genus Leopardus, which, perhaps confusingly, did not include the leopard.) All these species are now included in the genus Panthera, which therefore covers species such as lions and tigers as well as "panthers".

    The cougar holds the Guinness record for the animal with the highest number of names, presumably due to its wide distribution across North and South America. It has over 40 names in English alone.[6]

    The jaguar is a New World mammal of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus, along with the tiger, lion, and leopard of the Old World. It is the only Panthera found in the New World.

     

    If the jaguar is the only "panthera" in "the new world," what about the cougar?  So apparently, "Leopards" and "Jaguars" are always "Panthers," while "Panther" may also include "Lions," "Tigers," and "Pumas/Cougars/Mountain Lions" depending on whom you're talking to or which page at Wikipedia you're looking at.

    So I guess my favorite animal is the Panther (since all my favorites can be included in this term (except the Cheetah - how come he's left out?).
