Puma pardoides
''Puma pardoides'' or Owen's panther is an extinct prehistoric cat, long regarded as a primitive species of leopard (genus ''Panthera''). Recent work〔Hemmer, H., Kahlike, R.-D. & Vekua, A. K. (2004). The Old World puma ''Puma pardoides'' (Owen, 1846) (Carnivora: Felidae) in the Lower Villafranchian (Upper Pliocene) of Kvabebi (East Georgia, Transcaucasia) and its evolutionary and biogeographical significance. ''Neues Jahrbuch fur Geologie und Palaontologie, Abhandlungen'' 233, 197-233.〕 has shown that ''Panthera pardoides'' is actually the same species as ''Panthera schaubi'', which is probably not a pantherine at all, but more properly classified as ''Puma pardoides''.
==Classification==
''Panthera schaubi'' or ''Viretailurus schaubi'' was historically often regarded as a basal member of the genus ''Panthera''.〔A. Turner: ''The big cats and their fossil relatives''. Columbia University Press, 1997. ISBN 0-231-10229-1〕 However, recent work〔("Pumas of South Africa, cheetahs of France, jaguars of England" ), ''Tetrapod Zoology'', referring to Hemmer et al. 2004〕〔Hemmer, H., Kahlike, R.-D. & Vekua, A. K. (2004). The Old World puma ''Puma pardoides'' (Owen, 1846) (Carnivora: Felidae) in the Lower Villafranchian (Upper Pliocene) of Kvabebi (East Georgia, Transcaucasia) and its evolutionary and biogeographical significance. ''Neues Jahrbuch fur Geologie und Palaontologie, Abhandlungen'' 233, 197-233.〕 has shown that ''Viretailurus'' should actually be included in the genus ''Puma'' as a junior synonym of ''Puma pardoides''. Fossils of this leopard-sized animal are around 2 million years old and were found in France.
