Happy Cat Day! 😻
Felidae is a family that includes all cats, from the domestic house cat to the massive tiger. Felids have a few things in common, like semi-retractable claws, rough tongues covered in horned papillae, and sensitive whiskers. They are also obligate carnivores, which means meat is on the menu! At the zoo, you’ll find a variety of cat species, like Lex the African lion, with his immaculately groomed mane! Which felid species is your favorite?
