felid

1 Even though the study has implications for larger, famous felids, the inspiration for the research came from a smaller cat.

2 Birds pluck their feathers, horses nip at their flanks, canids, felids, and bears over-groom themselves, turtles may bite their legs, and snakes may chew on their tails.

3 The brown eyes aren’t remarkable, Tabin says, because that eye color is present in the closest relatives of the felid family like hyenas and civets.

4 Lions hunting in daylight near homes is out of the ordinary and not desirable, but the large felids’ presence low in the Gros Ventre Range foothills this time of year is natural.

5 The mountain lion may well be the planet’s most adaptive felid, at one time boasting the broadest range of any land carnivore.

6 That allowed him to use statistics to infer which eye colors were likely present in the cats that gave rise to all living felids, a method known as ancestral state reconstruction.

7 Canids, like dogs and wolves, seem to be more resistant to its ill effects than felids, like cougars (also called mountain lions and pumas), bobcats, and Canada lynx.

8 Along the R�o Purificaci�n 36 kilometers north and 10 kilometers west of Victoria an opossum was eaten in a trap by a small carnivore, probably a felid judging from tracks around the trap.

9 Thus, rapid morphological diversification and a fairly plastic skull have been identified as two key components that facilitated the emergence of elongated upper canines in both felids and nimravids.

10 New sequences were generated for 39 single-copy regions of the felid Y chromosome, as well as four mitochondrial and four autosomal gene segments, totaling 28.7 kb.

11 T. gondii, a single-celled parasite, only reproduces in domesticated cats and other felids.

12 The simians have sufficient intelligence to understand that my felid� are famous for the claws.

13 In comparison, other felids in the region, such as tigers, leopard cats, marbled cats and Asian golden cats are regularly photographed this way.

14 But not even Dubey knows the answer to why only felids seem to be primary hosts.

15 Bovids, equids and, in particular, canids, were put to work by H. sapiens; felids always took a slightly different view of the matter, but were indulged for their rodent-catching talents.

16 “Knowing that an animal like Homotherium survived for so long may help us understand the extinction dynamics of felids today,” Paijmans says.

17 The inner ears of cheetahs are like that of no other modern felids, the study found.

18 The researchers first estimated just how much meat and fat would have been left on a typical carcass left behind by two species of big cats, and how often the felids would hunt.

19 “As far as I know, there has never been a prehistoric cat found with this level of preservation,” Des Moines University fossil felid expert Julie Meachen says, “so this is truly an extraordinary find.”

20 The program also accepts genomes of wild felids, including lions and tigers.
