Panthera
''Panthera'' is a genus within the Felidae family that was named and first described by the German naturalist Oken in 1816.〔Oken, L. (1816). (''Lehrbuch der Zoologie'', 2. Abtheilung ). August Schmid & Comp., Jena.〕 The British taxonomist Pocock revised the classification of this genus in 1916 as comprising the species lion, tiger, jaguar and leopard on the basis of cranial features.〔Pocock, R. I. (1916). (''The Classification and Generic Nomenclature of'' F. uncia ''and its Allies'' ). The Annals and Magazine of Natural History: zoology, botany, and geology. Series 8, Volume XVIII: 314–316.〕 Results of genetic analysis indicate that the snow leopard also belongs to the ''Panthera'', a classification that was accepted by IUCN assessors in 2008.〔
Only the tiger, lion, leopard and jaguar have the anatomical structure that enables them to roar. The primary reason for this was formerly assumed to be the incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone. However, new studies show the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx. The snow leopard does not roar. Although it has an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone, it lacks the special morphology of the larynx.
==Name==
The word ''panther'' derives from classical Latin ''panthēra'', itself from the ancient Greek ''pánthēr'' (πάνθηρ). The Greek ''pan-'' (πάν), meaning "all", and ''thēr'' (θήρ), meaning "prey" bears the meaning of "predator of all animals".
