World’s Smallest Cat: Rusty Spotted Cat |  “He may look like a kitten, he’d still fit in the palm of your hand - but this little male is very nearly fully grown. [..] What he lacks in size… he makes up for in daring.”

A truly regal African lion. What harem can he not rule over? A tremendous beast.

Not specifically a Big Cat - this is a puma, or a mountain lion - not an African lion. No less beautiful, though.
