Cover Story: The nasal cavity has been extensively studied in dogs. Nevertheless, there exists a paucity of studies regarding the nasal anatomy in felids, particularly in large species such as leopards, lion, and cheetahs. This study employs imaging techniques including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and rhinoscopy to analyze the nasal anatomy of both domestic and big cats. Its objective is to display the different anatomical characteristics of each species and underscore disparities between the domestic and non-domestic felids. Additionally, the study evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of each imaging technique in assessing nasal cavity anatomy. These findings are poised to aid veterinary clinicians in the accurate diagnosis and management of these nasal pathologies, thereby potentially enhancing the survival of these endangered big cat species. View this paper
