Their niche in the wild includes ambushing their prey for their meals, however, these cats are not as big as lions or tigers, so their prey tend to be on the smaller size.

These cats also travel as high as 18,400 feet which is a bit more than the half way mark in comparison to the height of Mount Everest.
