According to wildlife experts, if you see a cougar in the east, it is probably a male who has wandered there in search of territory. But he will not find a female to mate with, therefore there are no thriving populations in the east. And there won't be unless humans make it happen by releasing females into the wild. There is plenty of prey for cougars in the east.

@@samratsingh1907 Yes, but the lion is the largest cat in Africa, That’s why I mention the African lions. I think that there are now more than 700 wild asiatic lions according to the last census.

😎🥸Cougars are very dangerous and very large and so are black bears...black bears are VERY under rated as far as being dangerous 🥸😎You find these two animals everywhere

Asia, North America and Europe will be tied. All three have wolves, and the largest wolves in said places are similar in size. But I don't know if you mean domestic or wild dogs, some people prefer to call wild canines just dogs, so this is confusing.
Those feral cats in Australia are getting big. Size for size they are probably the best hunters in Australia also. I would love to see how big they are in another 50 years an I would definitely love to see how big they are in 1,000 or even 10,000 years.
If domesticated cats were taken to say Antartica and didn’t die immediately from the cold they’d destroy the penguin population in a few months or years
Man, you really know your cats! Thanks so much for sharing. You haven't forgotten a single one. I think you got them all. I am totally a cat person. The Lion is my favorite.🦁👍
@@cool_dude69833 Length and height wise probably similar to jaguars but they are relative lightweights. The jaguar is third heaviest after lions and tigers.
Snow Leopards are also present in Pakistan with a population ranging from (200 - 420). Leopards too are present the Asatic Leopards and the Persian Leopard which was once considered extinct Asatic Leopard are highly endangered though recently population has started to grow and for Persian Leopard the Population is estimated to be near 200. Pakistan once had population of Asatic Lions, Asatic Cheetahs and Tigers but unfortunately lost these due to over hunting expecially during the British Rule Era. Not only were these Cats present Pakistan also used to host ancient populations of rhinos and Elephants which it unfortunately lost. Rhino presence was also mentioned in the Babar Nama present near Peshawar and Indus Valey Civilization contained its Seals.
Oceania and Asia are tied for first (Saltwater Crocodile, largest was found in Papua New Guinea) Africa 2nd (Nile Crocodile) North and South America are tied for third (American Crocodile) Antarctica 4th (emperor penguin) Europe 5th (Great Bustard) And yes, birds are reptiles :)
@alia7960 Phylogenetically speaking, birds are reptiles, if we exclude them, "reptilia" becomes a paraphyletic group, this is because crocodilians and birds are more closely related to each other than either is to lizards, snakes, or turtles
And at least for Poland the map of its distribution is out of date, they are now a little bit more widespread and appear even in the western part of the country.
Part of the reason the Iberian Lynx is coming back so well is they had a successful captive breeding to release programme, it is also why #SWAforlife (@SavingWildcats) is partnered with the Junta de Andalusia on the so far successful breeding to release programme in the Cairngorms National Park for the Wee Highland Tiger.
Great vid pal. For the panthera family the skull is bulkier, they are more muscular and they can roar correct? Size wise a puma can rival a leopard or a jaguar.
The largest type of cat is the Atlas lion, which became extinct in the wild Its size was larger than the Siberian tiger. Because he lived in an environment like that of the Siberian tiger The remaining lions now live in the African desert, and everyone knows that the animals that live in the desert are slightly smaller in size.🤷
@arivontrapp Most venoms are not harmful if ingested. There is also a good chance that the cats don't eat the heads of the snakes, and so avoid the fangs and venom glands altogether.
Depending on if you consider Georgia a part of Europe (they are candidates for the European Union), they still have a small native leopard population in the wild, which means leopards live in Europe.
You might find it crazy but you can also find them present at the Himalayas. A recent WWF documentary shows its presence in Pakistan hunting at the Snowy Peaks.
One more thing on Cougar/Puma/mountain loin; they are the largest, none-big cat. This is because they cant roar. They make a very high pitch screech like meow
In present times, the average weight of male Siberian tigers is less than both Bengal tigers and African lions from the southern portion of the continent thanks to poaching, habitat loss, and the inherent limited prey.
European wild cats and domesticated cats are the same species, that's why they breed with each other so much. They are different subspecies though, as domesticated cats come from the Middle East.
I always thought that the average Bengal tiger was larger than the average siberian tiger, but the largest Siberian tiger was larger than the largest Bengal tiger.
Jaguars from North America are definitely bigger than Cougars in those areas and its not close. Not only in Mexixo but in Arizona New mexico etc. if you do some research you will see the famous “el jefe” who is way large than cougars from North America
I can't believe you forgot one of the largest Cats in the entire Galaxy - Cheetor. They can turn into a giant robot that fights the bad guy. Such a huge disservice you've done here today, I can tell you've done literally no research whatsoever because you didn't even include Liger Zero either!
Ok, before I get to watching it, the reason I clicked is because the title says 7 continents. I didn't think there were even domestic cats on Antarctica so I'm interested to see what the video says about that.
Nowadays Bengal tigers are bigger on average than Siberian tigers, the largest Siberian tigers were hunted off by poachers to a significantly higher degree than the largest Bengal tigers, in fact after 1970, the largest male Siberian tiger weighed 212 kg while the largest male Bengal tigers weighed 270 kg
@@greasher926 yeah that´s also true, although they are still known to take large prey like brown bears which are still relatively common in their range
