Tiger Panthera tigris , the largest species of the genus Panthera. Panthera Oken , Felis pardus Linnaeus , Tigers of mainland Asia P. It was initially thought to be an ancestral tiger species, but several scientists place it close to the base of the genus Panthera. The oldest known Panthera species closely related to the snow leopard. Gansu province of northwestern China. Closely related to the tiger. Much of Asia P. These three subspecies are not closely related to the modern tiger subspecies.
The oldest fossil species of jaguar sometimes classified as fossil subspecies of the extant animal or P. Closely related to Asiatic leopard subspecies, [59] with at least one study suggesting closely related to the Persian leopard P.
A possible chimera of fossil leopards and cheetahs. A leopard-like cat which is believed to be the oldest known species of lion. This lion subspecies is only known by two teeth. Originally spelaea and fossilis were classified as subspecies of the extant lion P. North America, dubious remains in South America. The American lion is thought to have descended from a basal spelaea cave lion population isolated south of the North American continental ice sheet , and then established a mitochondrial sister clade circa , BP.
Atilax Marsh mongoose A. Crocuta Spotted hyena C. Large family listed below. Small family listed below. During the 19th and 20th centuries, various explorers and staff of natural history museums suggested numerous subspecies, or at times called races, for all Panthera species. The taxonomist Pocock reviewed skins and skulls in the zoological collection of the Natural History Museum, London and grouped subspecies described, thus shortening the lists considerably.
Study results indicate that many of the lion and leopard subspecies are questionable because of insufficient genetic distinction between them. Based on genetic research , it was suggested to group all living sub-Saharan lion populations into P. Black panthers do not form a distinct species, but are melanistic specimens of the genus, most often encountered in the leopard and jaguar.
In , results of a phylogenetic study on living and fossil cats were published. This study was based on the morphological diversity of the mandibles of saber-toothed cats , their speciation and extinction rates. The generated cladogram indicates a different relation of the Panthera species, as shown below: The following list of the genus Panthera is based on the taxonomic assessment in Mammal Species of the World and reflects the taxonomy revised in by the Cat Classification Task Force of the Cat Specialist Group: Sunda Island tiger P.
