  Precise knowledge of the strange and antistrange quark distributions of the
nucleon is a major step toward better understanding of the strong interaction
and the nucleon structure. Moreover, the $ s-\bar s $ asymmetry in the nucleon
plays an important role in some physical processes involving hadrons. The goal
of this paper is the study of intrinsic strange contribution to the strange sea
of the nucleon. To this aim, we calculate the intrinsic strange distributions
from the various light-cone models including BHPS, scalar five-quark and
meson-baryon models and then compare their results. These models can lead to
the rather different distributions for the intrinsic strange that are dominated
in different values of $ x $. Furthermore, the meson-baryon model leads to the
$ s-\bar s $ asymmetry that can be comparable in some situations to the result
obtained from the global analysis of PDFs. We also present a simple
parametrization for each model prediction of intrinsic strange distribution.
