The Felis silvestris, or wildcat, are located primarily in Africa, Europe, southwest Asia, and Central Asia. Due to their largely populated area they are not seen as an animal that will be going extinct any time soon. They come in various types(colors) of fur because of their geographic differences and are slightly larger than a housecat. Evidence shows that the housecat might have came from the African wildcat a near 10,000 years ago to be used to keep rodents away from stored goods in the Fertile

INTRODUCTION Write in full, using proper sentences and include in-text references. Approximately 200 words, excluding references. Felis catus the domestic cat, an introduced species as a direct result of the human population is responsible for 26% of the extinction of the total population of Birds, mammals, and reptiles worldwide.

Name – Arius felis Name – Hardhead catfish Description – Hardhead catfish have six rounded barbels that stick out from their chins like whiskers. These barbels help the catfish find crabs, fish and shrimp in the muddy bays where they live. The dorsal and pectoral fins each are supported by a sharp, slime-covered barbed spine. The catfish is covered in a mildly toxic slime, that causes severe pain, and swelling, should the catfish cut you. The dorsal spine normally is held erect when the fish is excited
hop right in! HISTORY OF FELIS SILVESTRIS CATUS The first thing to note would be the cat’s history. Cats are related to lions, tigers, cougars and more! Domesticated cats, or house cats, are part of the Felis genus. Southeast Asia’s felis chaus, the European Felis silvestris silvestris, Chinese mountain cat Felis Bieti, African native Felis silvestris lybica, and Arab’s sand cat Felis margarita are among the Felis class. Despite how many felines are in its class, the Felis domesticus is

... was Felidae and Felis and Lynx are two Genera that fall under this family. They both have “small cat” species within in them but have a range of different animal types. The Felis genus has approximately 7 species and they all have similar appearance, they do not roar and the wild species orientate across Europe, Sothern and central Asia and Africa. Genus Lynx on the other hand only has four members, Bobcat, Canadian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx and Iberian Lynx. Like the Felis, these species live in
Lab Report Comparing Oxygen Consumption Rates in Different Mammalian Subclasses The purpose in experimenting with computer simulations was to compare oxygen consumption rates in different mammalian subclasses. We compared monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals at both warm and cold temperatures. The results supported our hypothesis that when temperature increased, metabolic rate decreased. This was also supported using a student's t-test. We also found that placental mammals had the

After an hour or so, my dad pulled me aside. He said that my Aunt Feli had passed away last night. My mind went for a loop, I was so confused. I thought that he was joking, so I replied “You’re lying, don’t mess with me like that.” and punched his shoulder softly while I chuckled. My dad quickly started tearing up and
also rather compelling. There are also some rather odd facts about cats that are also very noteworthy, for example, a person who loves cats is called an “ailurophile”. As you can see, cats are quite the topic, and a very interesting one at that. The Felis Catus, or cat, is a 4-legged mammal on the planet Earth. There are two main types of cats: shorthaired and longhaired. Longhaired breeds include the Turkish Van, Maine Coon, and Persian. Shorthaired breeds include Somali, Snowshoe, and Singapura. There
most prevalent erythroparasite in felines (Reagan, 30). This tiny blood parasite is the cause of feline hemotropic mycoplasmosis (FHM), previously known as feline infectious anemia (FIA) (“New: IDEXX…”). Formerly known as Haemobartonella felis or Eperythrozoon felis, these hemoplasma were considered rickettsial organisms until the late 1990’s following 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis which revealed a closer pylogenetical relationship to the genus Mycoplasma (“Mycoplasma Haemofelis,” Allison)
The Felis genus of cats is the youngest known genus of the cat family and most domestic cats have derived from this genus. The most accepted ancestor of today’s modern domestic cats are the African Wildcat which is believed to have branched off and made the

The Natural History of Leptailurus Serval Christian Cintron, BIO 344.L05 INTRO Commonly referred to as the African serval or serval cats, the species Leptailurus serval is a medium sized feline native to the continent of Africa. Although it is widley spread throughout subsaharran, they have become extinct in some locations due to human predation. These elegant creatures are known for its remarkable resemblance of a cheetah with a beautiful fur coat that has spotted markings and long thing legs.
Taxonomy is a branch of science that is concerned with the classification of living and extinct organisms. It arranges them in hierarchies of superior and subordinate groups. (Oxforddictionaries.com, (2014), Encyclopaedia Britannica, (2014)). The classification of organisms is extremely important due to the existing diverse range of life. Many scientists classify these organisms to help establish organisation in order to study them more proficiently. It also allows relationships between organisms
Persian The Persian cat is one of the oldest natural cat breeds still alive today. Persian cats date back to ancient Egyptian times. But the origin of the race is believed to be in Persia (Iran) from which they were imported into Western Europe around 1620. The Persian is known in the Middle East as Shiraz or Shiraz and in Britain as Longhair or Persian Longhair. The Persian, a longhaired medium-sized cat, today is different from its ancestor; The face is different such as a shortened muzzle and
mountain lion interaction has been quite heated. The California Legislature has addressed issues concerning the hunting of mountain lions for over 80 years. On March 26, 1996, the most recent ballot measure deciding the fate of the California cougar (Felis concolor), Proposition 197, was not passed. This would have repealed the 1990 passing of Proposition 117, which banned all trophy hunting of mountain lions, allowing only trained Department of Fish and Game officials to kill lions that became a threat
Red Dwarf, by Rob Grant & Doug Naylor Red dwarf was written in collaboration by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. However on the cover of the book the author is called Grant Naylor and is referred to as a “Gestalt entity” giving the reader a clue as to what style the book is going to take. The BBC television series of the same name is based on this book but the events of the book and series are quite different and in my opinion the book is superior. The central character of this book is Dave Lister
Endangerment of the Florida Panther and Florida’s Efforts at Recovery The reasons for the phenomenon known as endangerment are varied and complicated. Endangerment can occur either naturally, through environmental changes and evolution, or unnaturally, due to human involvement in the environment such as encroachment and poaching. One rapidly decaying species in particular has the state of Florida doing its best to find a solution for this historically misunderstood mammal. The Florida panther's
