Oldest Tiger-like Skull Yet—Hints Evolution Got It Right From Start-October 10,2011




This article is about the evolution of the skull of big cats. In 2004 some paleontologists found the oldest skull of a tiger yet. The skull was a combination of a tiger's and a jaguar's. This animal was very similar to modern big cats. The skull of this ancient tiger was very similar to the skull of the jaguar but his teeth are like the tiger's ones. In addition to the teeth being different, his body is smaller that the jaguar's. The tiger and the jaguar have more similarities than differences.

This article interested me because big cats are endangered and we need to try to protect them from extinction. One way of doing this is by promoting their reproduction. Also another thing that interested me is that during millions of years big cats had not changed much to adapted because there body is very well made and the changes over the years has not been much.

This article has connections with my life because these animals are very pretty and I have seen them many times and it's very cool to know that there were many animals that were similar. The area of interaction on this article is environments because it shows that animals change through the years.
