Javan leopard cat

The Javan leopard cat is a vulnerable subspecies of leopard cat native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. It probably preys on Javan ferret badgers, birds, rodents and other animals. This picture was photographed in 1896. It was probably prey for the recently extinct tigers there on the islands. It is one of the 13 subspecies of leopard cat along with the Bengal, Sumatran, Chinese, Southern, Amur, Bornean, Western, Iriomote, Hainan, Visayan, and Tsushima.

European ice age leopard

The European ice age leopard (Panthera Pardus Spelaea) is a prehistoric leopard species that lived in the Pleistocene of Europe. Jaguars and leopard both coexisted in Europe in prehistoric times and this is a picture of a Eruopean jaguar (Panthera Gombaszoegensis). The European jaguar is the 1st big cat ever to exist and that 1st existed around 1.5 million years. I couldn't find any picture of an ice age leopard that's good enough for my blog.
