animals Big Cats As Pets

[wiggins]

Well they are related to lions and tigers like we are to the chimpanzee.

But they have evolved closer to humans than dogs. Dogs aren't able to thrive alone in the wild. And cats are obligate carnivores. Cats live in houses because of animism.

Well they are related to lions and tigers like we are to the chimpanzee.

Humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA. How can they be so alike - yet so different?

Actually they are. The cuddly domesticated house cats we love so much today are in fact descendants of lions and tigers, who are successors of early carnivores known as miacids. From here modern wild cats evolved into three key species – the European wild cat, the African wild cat and the Asiatic desert cat. Per Wikipedia...

5 species- There's a Near Eastern wildcat and a central asian wildcat. They would descend from the subfamily of the Lynx and the Leopard. The above that order would be the family- cats. And now now they are working on reclassifying the Wildcat as a separate species than the domesticated cat because wildcats are endangered. The lion, tigers and jaguars lineage separted at the Pantherinae with wildcats becoming Felinae. So it would be the same separation that chimpanzees and humans had in evolution. Not coming from the lions or tigers but the point at which they separated.

Don't all living things on the planet share 96% or 97% of the same DNA?
