Wild Cats

All Wild Cats today are believed to have originated from wild felines in Africa and Middle East millions of years ago. Felis Silvestris is thus the ancestor of all of them. There are thirty six species of wild cats in existence today. Most of them are facing threats of one kind or another in their natural habitat and require our urgent love and protection. Following are the extant wild cats and their prominent subspecies, arranged in alphabetical order, the names linked to their individual profile pages. It is hoped that any knowledge gained about them will one day enable you to raise voice about their plight in the wild.
