<h1>This prehistoric creature is the oldest cat, with eyes and tail length similar to that of civet cats</h1>
Cats have evolved into a race with very high appearance, whether it is a wild cat or our domestic cat, if nothing else, they still have a great advantage in appearance. Even if they have a high and cold personality and do not want to be close to people, but because they have a good appearance, people still like to raise them. But their ancestors don't seem to be so good-looking, they look a little strange, and they are a bit acquainted with the current spirit cat.
This cat is the first cat, there are also scholars to call them the original cat or the original red panda, but the appearance is not as cute as the red panda, it looks a bit like our modern Horse Island beaver, just look at the appearance will feel that they are very cunning, in fact, the first cat is a prehistoric creature, living in the Oligocene and miocene, the current research data on them is very small, archaeological excavations do not have much harvest, only rely on the existing data to restore their approximate shape.
The first cat is a relatively small cat, only 9 kilograms, about the same size as our current domestic cat, but the first cat has a small head, large eyes, a long tail, teeth are sabre-shaped, canine teeth are thick and very long, can easily bite the animal's fur. In addition, the first cat has very sharp claws, which can help them climb trees and hunt, and according to the information in the fossils, the claws of the first cat can also be freely retracted like most cats today.
The first cat is considered to be the oldest cat, but it was extinct in the late Miocene, and later gave birth to the post-cat of the European continent, and presented several branches, one became a pseudos saber-toothed tiger, and then evolved into a true saber-toothed tiger in the later stages. The long history has evolved into the current cats, which stand out from all the carnivores and become the king of the hundred beasts, they are mysterious and elegant, strong and beautiful, and have been liked by many people.
In the past few hundred years, there are many scientists obsessed with the form of cats, and to pay a lot of youth and energy, scholars continue to study, constantly discover ancient ruins, the mystery of the first cat has been lifted little by little, for us to restore the evolutionary history of the entire cat, let us better understand the cat family this mysterious species, the first cat as the ancestor of the cat family, naturally become the focus of our focus.
Based on morphological comparisons, it was found that they bear many similarities with today's Horse Island beavers, with strong limbs, which may mean that the cat is also a good jumping animal, and is very good at climbing trees, and it is even likely that they roost in trees all day long. Because that era was the era of many large beasts of prey, but the beasts of prey generally lived on land or at sea, while the beasts of prey inhabited the trees were much less, and the weight of the first cat was too small to be compared with other large beasts.
Once on the ground, its advantages may be gone, so the first cat is likely to be like the current civets, leopards and other animals, most of the time in the tree to avoid danger, when it needs to eat before going to the ground. The number of teeth of the first cat is very large, and the temporal bone rock tympanic chamber headland has an extra protrusion, through this bone comparison analysis, we can be sure that the chewing ability of the first cat should be very strong, the canine teeth are responsible for hunting or tearing off the food, and the rest of the teeth are responsible for chewing.
There is a faction of people who once thought that the earliest fake cats in North America migrated from other places, until the discovery of the first cat, people felt that it was not the same thing, they are likely to be the local first cat evolution, after all, the first cat at that time was distributed all over the world.
