    That's a really beautiful big cat! I've never been big fan of them, but I can't deny they're beautiful. I wonder how we managed to domesticate cats? and also who are the ancestors of the cats we have at home nowadays? I'd really like to know that, I've been wondering for a while what the answer is.

    Thanks for sharing this, Becky! I love big cats. I would always watch National Geographic shows on big cats and would tell everyone that I wanted to pet lions as a kid. This is interesting and I wonder where else they are going to find the remains of big cats.
