Wildcats are some of the most beautiful and interesting animals on the planet. There are 40 species of wildcat separated into 8 distinct lineages providing one of the most interesting stories of evolution in the animal kingdom. The oldest split between all remaining extant species of cat occurred more than 10 million years ago when Pantherine containing the big five split from Felinae containing the rest of the felids. The Felinae family then continued to diverge until around 1-3 million years ago producing amount others, the Caracal, Ocelot, Lynx, Puma and Domestic Cat lineages. In this guide, we'll explore each split in the Felidae family and the lineages and species of wild cats these evolutionary divergences produced.

Wild cats are the only animals where no matter how diverse... wild, big, small, and no matter the differences, they will still have all the required features for humans to go "look at the cute kitty and it's big fluffy toes". My brain should not have the urge to pet every single one of these, due to survival being necessary, and yet I so want to.

What's fascinating to me is that all cats, regardless of how far apart they are in terms of their lineage, exhibit so many shared features, characteristics, mannerisms and behaviors. You can take any two cats from this video - watch them walk around or even just sit for 5 minutes - and you'll notice huge nearly identical details about the way they function. Makes me think that their nearest common ancestor, the cat progenitor, must have loved boxes too!

I hope we get to see more of them in the future as it would indicate a more healthy ecosystem in the woodlands near where I live.

Funny story. A friend of mine was once living up by himself in the Virginia mountains and one night he heard some distressed mewling from a kitten. After looking around for a bit he found the kitten, and with no mother anywhere in sight, and having heard this sound for hours, he brought it inside to keep it safe. After a few months the cat had gotten quite a bit bigger, and unfortunately developed a bit of an upper respiratory infection. When he took the cat to a vet they went over it and prescribed a simple antibiotic and gave it some vaccines. The last thing the vet said to me friend? "That's a fine looking bobcat you got yourself, where did you buy it from?" This was, somehow, the first moment my friend realized that his cat was a bobcat, lol.

Fun fact - my grandad told me once of the cat that would come to his house in jeddah all the time in the 40s that they named MishMish (which means apricot in arabic) . He said it was pretty big and ‘probably a stray’- but very affectionate and relaxed. I was curious and looked up sand cats , showed him the picture with no context and said ‘YES! That’s him :)’. Can’t believe my grandad legit had a wildcat just chilling in his home (Edit: my grandad died two days ago, and knowing how many people found this one part of his life so wonderful is heartwarming. I discovered another deeper story attached to Mishmish and how it was murdered by a neighbors cat leading to a very moral story. I want to turn this into a comic or animated short film, and was going to ask him the details again the next time I saw him, but unfortunately it will have to be from my memory; in his memory. I told him about you all and the attention this comment got a couple weeks before he died, and he was intrigued, if a bit mistified as to why so many people care (he was a man with a crazy life) the answer? The internet loves cats. I love you grandad, and I miss you even more )

@Oson Houston, actually Felinae is the only extant subfamily of the family Felidae and actually may include both Panthera and Neofelis, plus Felidae is the only extant family of the superfamily Feloidea, this is similar to how Caninae is the only extant subfamily of the family Canidae and Canidae is the only extant family of the superfamily Canoidea, both dogs (family Canidae) and cats (family Felidae) contain thirty-nine extant species placed into fourteen genera, both families are also the type families of each carnivoran suborder, with Canidae being the type family for the suborder Caniformia and Felidae being the type family for the suborder Feliformia.

​@@indyreno2933 The felinae you are talking about is used sensu lato, and within that classification it splits into the two extant subfamilies of felinae and pantherinae. It happens a lot in taxonomy, a couple steps up from the carnivora we know and love is a clade called "carnivoramorphia" which is also known as carnivora (sensu lato). In general when we are talking about felinae we mean the subfamily in opposition to pantherinae, not the felinae that you are talking about which is used to differentiate the extant genera from the extinct styriofelis within the styriofelis lineage of cats.

@Nathan Creek, the carnivoran families Canidae (Dogs) and Felidae (Cats) are more alike than known, both families contain thirty-nine extant species within fourteen genera, both families contain only one extant subfamily as well as two notable extinct subfamilies (for Canidae (Hesperocyoninae and Borophaginae) and for Felidae (Proailurinae and Machairodontinae)), both families are the only extant families of the respective superfamilies Canoidea and Feloidea, both families typify the respective suborders Caniformia and Feliformia, however, while the subfamily Caninae of the family Canidae contains three tribes (Urocyonini (contains 1 genus: Urocyon), Cerdocyonini (contains 5 genera: Atelocynus, Speothos, Chrysocyon, Lycalopex, and Cerdocyon), and Canini (contains 8 genera: Vulpes, Alopex, Otocyon, Nyctereutes, Lupulella, Lycaon, Cuon, and Canis)), the subfamily Felinae of the family Felidae contains two extant tribes (Pantherini (contains 5 genera: Herpailurus, Puma, Acinonyx, Neofelis, and Panthera) and Felini (contains 9 genera: Leptailurus, Caracal, Catopuma, Pardofelis, Otocolobus, Lynx, Prionailurus, Leopardus, and Felis)), also within Caniformia the closest living relatives of the dogs (family Canidae) are the ursoids (superfamily Ursoidea) and the pinnipeds (parvorder Pinnipedia), with canoids and ursoids being placed within the parvorder Eufissipedia, which is allied with pinnipeds into the infraorder Cynopsia (meaning "dog-shaped faced ones" in latin), within Feliformia, cats (family Felidae) are the only extant family of the superfamily Feloidea and the infraorder Aeluropsia (meaning "cat-shaped faced ones" in latin), making cats the most distantly related from all the other extant feliform lineages, since all the other nine extant feliform families (Protelidae, Hyaenidae, Nandiniidae, Prionodontidae, Poianidae, Genettidae, Viverridae, Herpestidae, and Eupleridae) are assigned to a separate infraorder named Crocutopsia (meaning "hyena-shaped faced ones" in latin), this is because unlike cats, they looked more superficially like caniforms and a majority of crocutopsian feliforms were omnivores unlike aeluropsians, which were exclusively carnivorous, this still counts Felidae as containing only one extant subfamily, just like Canidae contains only one extant subfamily.

News flash: I personally saw what appeared to be a Jaguarundi in San Antonio, TX about ten years ago. I was on my way to work on a semi rural road at about 4:30 am and saw it cross in front of me. It had a long slender body with an unusually long tail and the color was dark grey. This cat ran low to the ground and disappeared into the brush. I’ve also seen Caracaras flying here too, so wild animals will find a way to expand range and adapt for survival outside of their supposed boundaries.

In some places that use the metric system it's not too uncommon for people to use the Imperial System for certain measurements. A lot of people in Canada tend to use Ibs, feet/inches for body measurements unless you're in the medical field or something. A lot of cooking is done in Imperial units also, since imperial measurements tend to be easier to remember (ex. ½cup is easier to remember then 118.3ml). It is a bit weird tho I guess, since most videos stay consistant with their measurement system.

Telling jaguars and leopards apart: The video is right that both leopards and jaguars have rosettes. (Cheetahs have spots.) The other thing making them hard to distinguish is photos don’t show size very well. If next to each other, an adult jaguar would be way bigger. So I tell their photos apart mainly by build. A leopard is thick in its shoulder-blade area and shoulders, but the rest of its body is a bit slenderer including its slightly smaller head and longer tail. Look at 1:01 where its shoulder blades are bulging, but its head and neck look comparatively delicate. In contrast the jaguar’s muscle is more evenly distributed. It is “beefy” basically everywhere. 5:26 and 5:46 are great for seeing that. Some other good comparisons are where their chests are showing. Compare where the “upper arm” meets the chest at 4:21, to the same area in 5:11 and 5:31 (and 5:06, that dude’s stance looks like a bulldog!) Then look at the tails on any of the beefy dudes, compared to the tail at 4:31. Leopards have long tails for their size! Some jaguars can be identified extra quickly due to having multiple spots inside a single rosette, like at 5:31. (Some leopards have a tiny spot inside a rosette, but I have never seen a leopard photo with multiples like that.) There are subtle head shape differences too when you get a good enough angle to compare. Haha there should be a prize for reading all that 😊

Just wanted to pop in and mention - while it's easier to tell cheetahs apart because they're built much differently and have solid spots, a dead giveaway if you need help memorizing is the stripes on their faces. All cheetahs have a black stripe running from their eyes down to the corners of their mouths, outlining their muzzles.

Sorry, one correction: there is some controversy around the number of subspecies of jaguars. Some authors have described up to eight. At the very least, South American and North American jaguars are pretty different. South America jaguars are much larger: based on actual weight of captured and studied specimens, males in Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela weigh on average 95 kilos (with large ones exceeding 110 kilos) while Belizean male jaguars weigh on average just 57 kilos and Mexican males jaguars weigh only 50 kilos on average (half the weight and the corpulence of their South American brothers).

Thier historical range (which they are slowly reclaiming themselves) stretched as far north as the Grand Canyon, as far west as extream Southern California, & as far east as Southern Texas. Ocelot's share a fairly similar range (except the Grand Canyon). Sorry for ranting about this.

I want to correct you. Cheetah and yaguarandi are not recognized as part of the puma genus. Cheetah is classified into his own genus Acinonyx, same with yaguarandi (Herpailuris). The fact that you have classified them by lineages is nice, but in my opinion can derivate in some confusion because, like in this case and in the Neofelis one with the phanteras they are not as close as most of the people probably have understanded.

Thanks for your feedback, Ban's! Taxonomy is tricky one isn't it! I did read that there was some debate over that lineage and that it had been reclassified several times. Do you recommend a particular source for taxonomy?

I thought I was watching a video of a channel with easily more than a million subs. Turns out you have 8k, you deserve so much more. Really well made documentation, you made my evening! Good job and stay healthy, I'm eager to see more

I was just researching about Asiatic golden cats! I had no idea that there were more cats like them, cats of Southeast Asia are so difficult to find information on because they're so hard to come by in the wild, this video was super awesome and informative!

Living in northern Maine about 2011, I went out to feed my goats in the morning and there was a cat that looked exactly like the serval in body shape and size but it was all light gray with a white chest. I don't know what it really was but I know it wasn't a lynx, bobcat or cougar. I was able to watch it for over a minute because it was inside my goats pen, when it saw me it bolted and hit the fence 3 times before it finally jumped out. The goats were locked up in their shed so they were never in any danger.

Cats as a whole are one of best athletes on the planet. But the best athletes between cats are probably the snow leopards. Seeing them chase prey down a sheer mountain ⛰️ 😍 is truly a sight to behold

Great video. Good stuff. I love cats. I subbed. The cheetah is not the "fastest animal," that is the perigrine falcon. The cheetah is the fastest land animal... I had never heard of the jaguarundi. Very cool.

Thanks, James! Someone else brought up the falcon too!! I hadn't even considered the speed of birds, I'll try to be more specific in the future, thanks for the feedback!
