To say that people's favorite animals on the earth, it must be felines, although dogs are people's most loyal partners, but the untamed felines are more appreciated and loved, cats were once the strongest kings on the earth, before humans entered the Homo sapiens stage, they were the absolute masters of the earth, even the nightmare of ancient humans. There are countless ancient species on earth that have been hunted and even extinct by cats as food. Until now, felines are still one of the few animals that can pose a threat to humans, it can be said that human beings have a fear of felines from the bones, which is an instinct engraved in human genes for thousands of years, just as antelopes fear lions, goats fear tigers, and human fear of felines is also innate. But with the rapid progress of human beings, today, cats have become regular visitors to zoos, and people will respect and love these beautiful beasts while ending their fears.
So, in people's minds, if the most beloved cats are selected, which animals will be selected?
First place, the king of the snow, the snow leopard.
snow leopard
Snow leopard is a unique wild animal living in China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they are the top beasts on the snowy plateau, is the existence of the top of the food chain, the same, they are also mysterious animals, it is almost difficult to find their traces, until the development of modern infrared camera technology, people gradually witness their faces. The snow leopard is mainly covered with thick white fluff, dotted with some gray-black spots, which can be perfectly integrated with the surrounding snow environment and the rocky Gobi environment, which is conducive to hiding the figure, and when the snow leopard lurks, the prey is difficult to detect even if it is close at hand. Snow leopards also have a long, furry tail with a thick and powerful tail, which is a key helper for snow leopards that need to often climb mountains and mountains, and even hunt on cliffs. The snow leopard's four legs are thicker and covered with fluff than ordinary cats, and they walk silently, and for prey, snow leopards often appear suddenly like gods.
The snow leopard is a beautiful animal, fierce in temperament but very cute in appearance, so almost no one does not like it, and the snow leopard is deservedly the most acclaimed feline.
In second place, the athlete who returned to the feline family, the cheetah.

Cheetahs were once considered a type of cat, but later scientists have divided them into independent cheetah families, this is because cheetahs have a long history of evolution, almost at the same time as the ancient lions and tigers, and parted ways, but modern genetic research has found that cheetahs and cat subfamily have a similar genetic structure, have a close relationship, so they have been reclassified into cats.
Cheetah is the fastest running animal on the earth, the head is petite but slender, especially the limbs are particularly long, very suitable for fast running, cheetah shape is very beautiful, tall and long, many people often think that it is a very fierce animal, very afraid of it, but this idea is wrong, cheetah damage to humans is very small, on the bite ability is worse than dogs. Cheetahs have small mouths and no long sharp tiger teeth, equivalent to a large domestic cat, and cheetahs have a docile temperament, in many ancient Asian countries have a tradition of domesticating cheetahs to hunt, but cheetahs are difficult to breed in the domestic environment and eventually give up.
The third place, the new cute beast that accidentally appeared on camera, Rabbit Sun.
Rabbit
Rabbit Sun is not a well-known animal for many people, but with the arrangement of infrared cameras, this cute animal accidentally appeared on camera, they were called feline memes, because Rabbit Sun's facial expression is very rich and interesting, coupled with its fat body, it is even more cute and very eye-catching.
Rabbit Xun is a day and night animal, mainly based on pikas as food, but living on the plateau of them, there are many competitors, foxes, Tibetan foxes, lynx, and even eagles are staring at its prey at any time, once the rabbit is successful, it will often be robbed by other animals, helpless due to the limitation of strength, Rabbit Sun can only leave with a grin.
Fourth place, the king of the hundred beasts, the tiger.

The evolutionary history of tigers is the shortest among cats, only more than two million years, originating in the Longdan region of Gansu in northwest China, the earliest tiger is called Longdan tiger, but the tiger, as a rising star in the cat family, has become one of the top cats, expelling most of the competitors of the same level in the Asian region, the lion, becoming the only king of the hundred beasts in Asia.
There are many types of tigers, there are nine subspecies, in addition, there are some strange species born, such as white tiger, black tiger, blue tiger, tyrannosaurus and other species. In China, tigers are undoubtedly one of the most beloved animals.
Fifth, the ruler of the steppe, the lion.
Lion, Tiger and Leopard
Lions are social animals, suitable for living in the grassland open terrain environment, lions are mighty, the thick mane on the neck is very powerful and domineering, so it is also the favorite feline in the hearts of many people, but because the lion and tiger who is the strongest, has been a topic of debate in the hearts of many people, so some people like tigers, some people like lions, there are good people who have come up with a lot of video evidence of lions defeating tigers, but some people will come up with pictures of tigers beating lions.
The battle between lions and tigers is really inconclusive, so I think that lions and tigers cannot judge strength or weakness by race, but should be confused and won or lost in terms of individuality.
Sixth place. The most successful environmental adaptor is the leopard.
Leopard
Leopard in our country is also called the golden leopard, this is because the leopard has similar to the ancient copper coin like the same spots, so called the golden leopard, the leopard's evolution history is long, and the lion belongs to the earliest batch of cat beasts, in the period of saber-toothed tigers, the leopard has been all over the world, once the leopard is the nightmare of ancient humans, in a period of time even with the cat mainly with the ancient humans for food, with the strength of humans, leopards judge the situation, successfully changed their own recipes, Cats that could not adapt to the environment went extinct.
To this day, leopards are still the most successful cats, they are very adaptable to the environment, with the protection of the environment, leopards have reappeared in many areas, but tigers do not have such ability.
