One year ago, I decided to retake an old project I had that is is making homemade 1:20 models for the entire Felidae family, what means CATS. In total, although it is still discussed by the scientists, it is said to comprise 40 species and lots of significant different forms and variations. These is the current (2016-03-02) family photo: Wild Cats of the World "With the exception of Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, Japan, and most oceanic islands, native populations of cats are found worldwide, and one species, domestic cats, have been introduced nearly everywhere humans currently exist. Although some authorities recognize only a few genera, most accounts of Felidae recognize 18 genera and 36 species. With the exception of the largest cats, most are adept climbers, and many are skilled swimmers. Most felids are solitary. Often, felids are separated into two distinct subgroups, large cats and small cats. Generally, small cats are those that, due to a hardening of the hyoid bone, have an inability to roar. Felidae consists of subfamilies, Pantherinae (e.g., lions and tigers) and Felinae (e.g., bobcats, pumas, and cheetahs)" From http://animaldiversity.org You can explore them through this taxonomical tree I made with all the links to my models-as they were presented in the STS-Forum-as well as those I plan to do in the future. You can also explore them in my pages OOAKs or Copies: FELIDAE FAMILY: ----SUBFAMILY PANTHERINAE: --------Genus Panthera: ------------Tiger (Panthera tigris): ----------------Siberian tiger (Panthera Tigris Altaica) ----------------Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris): --------------------Normal form –PENDING. --------------------White form ----------------Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) –PENDING. ------------Lion (Panthera leo): ----------------Southeast African or Transvaal lion (Panthera Leo krugeri): --------------------Male --------------------Lioness –PENDING --------------------White variation, male -PENDING ----------------Barbary lion (Panthera Leo Leo) ----------------West African lion (Panthera Leo senegalensis) -PENDING ----------------Asiatic lion (Panthera lion persica) -PENDING ------------Jaguar (Panthera onca): ----------------Normal form) ----------------Black variation –PENDING ------------Leopard (Panthera pardus): ----------------African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) ----------------Indochinese Leopard (Panthera pardus fusca): --------------------Normal form -PENDING -------------------- Black form ----------------Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) –PENDING ----------------Arabian Leopard (Panthera pardus nimr) -PENDING ------------Snow leopard (Panthera uncia) --------Genus Neofelis: ------------Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) ------------Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) ----SUBFAMILY FELINAE: --------Genus Acinonyx: ------------Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus): ----------------Tanzanian Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus raineyii) ----------------South African Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus), King Cheeta variation -PENDING ----------------Saharan Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus hecky) –PENDING ----------------Asiatic Cheetah(Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) –PENDING --------Genus Puma: ------------Cougar (Puma concolor) ------------Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi): ----------------Grey form ----------------Red form -PENDING --------Genus Catopuma: ------------Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) ------------Bay cat (Catopuma badia) --------Genus Leptailurus: ------------Serval (Leptailurus serval) --------Genus Caracal: ------------Caracal (Caracal caracal) --------Genus Lynx: ------------Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) ------------Canadian lynx (Lynx canadensis) ------------Bobcat (Lynx rufus) ------------Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) --------Genus Prionailurus: ------------Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis): ----------------Bengal leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis bengalensis) ----------------Amur Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus) -PENDING ----------------Iriomote cat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis) -PENDING ------------Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) ------------Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) ------------Rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) --------Genus Otocolobus: ------------Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul) --------Genus Leopardus: ------------Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) ------------Margay (Leopardus wiedii) ------------Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) ------------Southern Tigrina ------------Pantanal cat (Leopardus braccatus) ------------Colocolo (Leopardus colocolo) ------------Pampas Cat (Leopardus pajeros) ------------Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) ------------Kodkod (Leopardus guigna) ------------Andean mountain cat (Leopardus jacobitus) --------Genus Profelis: ------------African golden cat (Profelis aurata) --------Genus Pardofelis: ------------Marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) --------Genus Felis: ------------Jungle cat (Felis chaus) ------------Sand cat (Felis margarita) ------------Black-footed cat (Felis nigripes) --------------Wildcat (Felis silvestris): ----------------European Wildcat ----------------Chinese mountain cat (Felis silvestris bieti) -PENDING ------------ Domestic Cat(Felis catus) As you could see, living cats belong only to this two subfamilies:.
A pantherinae and a felinae species togueter However, there was a third extinct subfamily, the Machairodontinae, which included the "saber-toothed cats", such as the famous Smilod Smilodon Populator by Mauricio Anton Possibly the oldest known true felid, Proailurus, lived in the late Oligocene and early Miocene epochs.
