Cat Family DIFFERENT CATS AROUND THE WORLD

• The pantherlike ancestor to the cat family first appeared


in Southeast Asia, about 10.8 million years ago. Prior to cat cat cat
the use of DNA studies in cats, it was difficult to trace the
Felidae family history, because feline fossils are rare, and
difficult to tell apart.

• In 1997, Warren E. Johnsand Stephen J. O’Brien


performed DNA analyses of 37 living cat species, which
allowed them to divide today’s cats into 8 lineage
• The great roaring cats (lions, leopards, jaguars, tigers)
were the first to branch off, about 6.4 million years ago. cat cat cat
The ancestor of modern domestic cats was the last to
appear, about 3.4 million years ago. A small wildcat
species was first domesticated in the Near East 8,000 to
10,000 years ago.

• As sea levels rose and fell, cats migrated to new


continents and developed new species. It is estimated that
cats migrated to North America from Asia across the
Bering land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska about 9 cat cat
million years ago. Later, several American cat lineages
returned to Asia. With each migration, the cats evolved
further and changed into an ever-growing array of sizes
and types of felines. Based on the DNA and fossil
evidence, the Johnnson-O’Brien team was able to
demonstrate a series of at least 10 intercontinental
migrations of cats over the past 10 million years, in
which cat were able to colonize the world.

thousands of years. Researchers know that dogs
regularly lived with humans by about 10,000 years
ago, and dogs and people are found buried together
as early as 14,000 years ago. And for even longer,
perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, humans
walked alongside the domestic dog's ancestor, an
extinct species of wolf. dog dog dog

Domestic dogs and wolves are part of a large


taxonomic family called Canidae, which also
includes coyotes, foxes and jackals, according to the
Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).
Members of this family are called canids. Domestic dog dog
