post about big cats (panthera genus).>images>news>art.
>>5136124Lions look more like fantasy creatures than real animals
>>5136132He says while displaying the most tiny dick behavior
people call cougars panthers… but cougars aren’t in panthera… and when people say black panther they mean melanistic leopards and jaguars… but if they’re called panthers… then melanistic lions and tigers could also be called black panthers…
>>5136257ok brownschizo
damn paleoschizo is going through a fucking ROUGH one today
>>5136331He saw people having a nice and civil conversation without him at the start of the theropod lip thread and he couldn't handle it
>>5136257I would literally bet $1,000 that you don't wash your ass after you shit.
>>5136331>>5136336You dumb motherfuckers can't even keep your hallucinations straight. I'm paleoschizo and I love cats.
>>5136309Yeah it's weird. Pumas also have like 25 fucking common names, which is odd.
Dogredditor having melties after getting clowned on in his own troll thread again huh? That brief period where he went back and we could have civil threads about cats and dogs was nice.
>>5136381>>5136378>>5136336>>5136331Stop talking to/about yourself you unironic mental patient
>>5136309Panther doesn’t actually mean members of the genus Panthera. That’s some retarded um ackshually tik toker shit. It was always just a broad term used to refer to large cats in general, most often for leopards. The word panther came before the name Panthera. Pumas were referred to as panthers before Linnaeus even created modern taxonomy and described the genus Panthera
>>5136378Paleoschizo isn't a person, he's an idea
>>5136394what a beast
The retard got banned we can post big cats again
>>5136428I have transcended.
>>5136129cute
Which recently extinct big cat (as in people directly causing their downfall) would you have wanted to have seen in person?
>>5136793sabertooth cat girls(they got fucked to death)preferrably all of thembut a european or persian lion would be hella cool
>>5136793American cheetah
>>5136827I second this but not because I like it. Because we know so little about this animal that it's cause for curiosity. It's essentially a cheetah that's suspected to have come from something like a Puma.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb3y8JWy5rMis this video right?I mean in that alot of teams have the lion as the team's animal>scotland is a Stagthis one can't be right, would be a lion
>>5136402>The word panther came before the name PantheraWell that's just fucking wrong lmao>LinnaeusLike that cunt has any bearing on the age of a word lol You're the dumbest fuck in Dumbfucksville.
Lions are like the T. rex. You love them as a child, then you spend your adolescence acting like they're overrated and prefer the tiger. Then you become an adult and look at lions objectively, and you see they're giant social pack-hunting panthers with insane fur covering and manes and are usually comparable to tigers in size, and you realize that lions are indeed the best.
>>5139341Popular animals tend to have that sort of bellcurve meme associated with them
>>5139341>comparable to tigers in sizeNope.Average male lion: 200kgLargest recorded specimen: 313kgAverage Siberian tiger: 300kgLargest recorded specimen: 423kgTigers average 50% larger than lions. It's like arguing Kevin Hart is comparable in size to Sultan Kösen (165cm and 249cm, respectively, making Kösen roughly 50% taller than Hart).
>>5139372Note how you had to specify Siberian tiger, which is the outlier. Meanwhile several tiger subspecies like the Sumatran, Mayalan, Indochinese and South China tigers are smaller than the average male African lion. Bengals are about the same and only Siberians are significantly bigger. We call this cherrypicking.
>>5139377And not to mention, a Siberian tiger might win in a 1v1, but there's rarely only one lion.
>>5139341Real maturity is realizing that both are cuddly. Lions are better as babies because they're slightly cuter, but tigers are better as adults because of the stripes and because they chuff.:3
>>5139341>You love them as a childNope.Tigers are cooler, and better. Always have been.Sounds like you were raised in an abusive lion-loving religion and after years have simply returned to what feels like an easier mental state.
>>5139377>Bengals are about the sameBitch, what? Bengals are bigger than Siberians. I specifically chose Siberians/Amurs because they're /not/ the biggest tiger population, not to mention that they're the most populous. And if we average the average weights of the six extant tiger populations, they're still considerably larger than lions, at 257.5kg, especially if we average African (and their smaller Ethiopian subspecies, like one in the OP) and the considerably smaller Asiatic lions to include them in the figure. I used the most populous species of each, tigers and lions, to make my example.And I never said anything about fighting. I wouldn't want floofyoofyoofums to fight. They'll be less floofy
What's the smallest "big cat"
>>5139919Snow leopard, iinm
>>5139904>Bengals are bigger than Siberians.thats wrong idiot
ALL big cats are just future rugs waiting to be cornered by a pack of hounds and popped by a guy with a mustache and a fancy rifleWhich one is better or would beat another is irrelevant. Be glad we’ve allowed them to exist. Or my rug collection might dedicate itself to making you lot more peaceful (tigers are definitely the #1 target. lion rugs kinda suck)
>>5140003K. Your mother still never liked you, regardless.
No Lions in Russia but they have a large park with about eighty Lions
>>5140006>That vid where a lion sees his friend as a rug and is visually depressed
>>5139341Wrong.Also, Allosaurus and Spinosaurus mog T.rex
>>5139919cleps
>>5140103T. rex bigger T. rex better
>>5139370I read a book not too long ago, “What Did The Dinosaurs Think”. As we all knew, the triceratops (being the best dinosaur) had a 1:8 encephalation quotient and was about as smart as a dolphin.
>>5140223Name one time a triceratops won a fight against a t Rex. You fucking CANT
>>5140227Now that you mention it, I can think of one that died as the result of one. Her name was Sue
>>5136125I want jaguars back in the Appalachians.
>>5136379Lots of animals have different local names or nicknames. Crawdads, crayfish, mudbugs etc all the same critter. Iirc panther was a generic term for big cats. Florida Panthers are pumas but jaguars used to live there so the black Florida panther probably came from stories about jaguars.
>>5136431Have any of you seen a nature show where lions set up an ambush of I think it was wildebeest at a river crossing. They specifically funneled the prey animals into different lions that chased them towards the ones that would make the kill. I've tried to find it but there are a billion videos and search engines are absolute garbage now especially google.Fuck Google
>>5136793Caspian Tiger
>>5136827I've never even heard about American cheetahs.
>>5139279Why does Brazil have a chocobo?
>>5139341Tigers hunt solo and carry grudges. Shere kahn was the true good guy in the jungle books.
>>5140064I've never seen that. Post it.
>>5140227If Jurassic World Dominion wasn't made by morons they would have had the T. rex die in the prologue fighting a Triceratops instead of a time traveling "Giganotosaurus"
>>5140282And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bikeT-Rex reigns Supreme
>>5140287Because everyone's ridden her?
>>5140290ENOUGH. Guards..
>>5140290kek
Why would anyone take care of this STUPID ugly stinky blind lioness?!?
>5140493Why would anyone keep posting this??
>>5141174Unironically mental retardation. As in, through the years we have gathered enough information to determine this guy's brain is literally stunted. It doesn't work properly.
>>5141975I wanna squish his fat face...
Oh shit gougars have merchandise now
I like big cats but why do lions have that stupid looking expression where they keep their mouths open like retards? Are they flehmenmaxxing?
>>5143966>Are they flehmenmaxxing?yes
>>5140277what i remember about it was maybe a private residence, most likely US where yt comments where outraged and called it abuseIf anyone can post it because i am struggling to locate it
can i has more reaction imagesany cat is fine too
>>5148894
>>5148944Bueno...
goddamn this makes me feel like a lion kinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VSwmzxFHZQ
I'd fuck a cheetah
cheeber pretty....
>>5153918cheeber very pretty, just wish my photos could capture it...
>>5136124>big cat gen>look inside>bunch of small cats
>>5154093...cheeber... wife??
>>5143964I just can't get over these giant, apex predators just... play around. Like, they're just playing with each other like little house kittens.>>5146199Can white people domesticate pretty much anything?
>>5154636this guy died btw
>>5140126So do these things come pre-domesticated or what?Literally every single video of them have them either act like ragdolls in captivity or just some friendly barn cat in the wild
>>5154647He was probably a fucking larper
>>5154686Confirmation bias. The videos where the keepers are killed an eaten can't make it to the internet.
>>5154760>hot cheetos
>cheetah>implying big
AND THE TIGER POSTER
>>5155324despite the 5head this is the most beautiful creature ive ever seen
>>5155327Snow leopards just look like that for some reason
can i has moar things like this from popular cultureany kitty is fine toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFmSIdssb0g
>>5136124Has anyone else noticed that jaguars and leopards are never in the same picture?
>>5156077
>>5156519
>>5156541
>>5139919pallas cat or african wildcat iirc :3
>>5156967The smallest feline in general is the black-footed cat, but the smallest big cat, as classified by having an ossified larynx and being a member of the Panthera genus, is the snow leopard
>>5156968https://youtu.be/nl8o9PsJPAQ
>>5158532
i notice sportballs players roar like lions to pump up themselves or others and the team
Why do snow leopards have false eyes on the backs of their ears, despite being apex predators in their environments? Tigers have the same thing. I've been learning about big cats casually for almost a decade but I still don't understand this.
>>5161895Very cool
>>5160372Maybe they got them when they were smaller and as they evolved into apex predators there's no evolutionary pressure to get rid of them so the spots stayed.
>>5162877That would make sense, neat
>>5136125jus admit it whatchu do
>>5162897lynxes are so majestic
>>5164242>lynxes are so majestic
>>5164242>
>>5165266I want to touch that belly
>>5165268You can fulfill any dream you have, but some of them only once.
I love it when you call me big floppa
>>5136124
>>5167710wat
>>5167722It was a trend a couple years back for zoos to give their big cats eggs with their coat patterns painted on them as enrichment. I don't get it either.
>>5167710Real?!???
>>5167250What did they talk about?
>>5168368probably discussing stocks, as men of high class do
FIGHT TO LIVELIVE TO FIGHT
>>5170204Oh shit, they evolving
