Similarities
Felidae members are carnivores so the k9’s are an important part of the fossil
record. The rough feet and sharp claws are meant for gripping things like trees or prey,
so all felidae members have them. All species are carnivores and have keen eyesight.
They also have an acute sense of hearing to locate prey. Most likely if there are felines in
an environment, then they are one of the top predators and have the job of keeping
lower levels from overpopulating.
One member of the felidae family is the leopard and it can be found in bush forests.
Leopards can haul kills into trees to keep them from other predators and can also attack from
trees where their spotted coat gives them camouflage. The leopard can also …show more content…
They are the largest
members of the felidae family and use their stripes for camouflage. Tigers use their body weight
to knock down prey and kill them. They are also great swimmers and have been known to kill
Bobcat
The bobcat is the most common wildcat in North America. They live in forests,
mountainous areas, and even semi- deserts and brush land. They can eat anything from
rodents to adult dear and use camouflage to capture prey.
Differences
The bobcat is the most common wildcat in North America. They live in forests,
mountainous areas, and even semi- deserts and brush land. They can eat anything from
rodents to adult dear and use camouflage to capture prey.
Leopards and tigers have a type of camouflage to blend in with the environment, but
bobcats do not as much. They also differ in size because of predator-prey relationships. Some
species may be bigger and less domesticated than others and may also vary greatly in color.
Common Ancestor
7 million years ago, felidae is thought to have evolved to shorter k9’s for more efficient
slashing and tearing. Size lessoned to fit dense forest regions. The last common ancestor of
felidae is thought to be the saber tooth
