Post large felines

Something I've been thinking about for a while: Anyone know what the common ancestor of big cats (pantherinæ) and small cats(felinæ) was like?
Was it a small cat or a big cat?

i was like 2 seconds away from typing "cougars literally evolved to be pets and cuddle in big beds with humans" but the logistics of feeding a fucking cougar snapped me out of that delusion

>>4995200
Its not a logistics issue, just a can you afford it or not issue. I'm broke as fuck so I definitely couldn't. I agree with your assessment though.

i wanna stick my face in there but it probably smells
still would

i wish i was this pumpkin

>>4996069
antelope innards

>>4996389
Imagine being in the middle of that cuddle pile

>>4996402
it hurts to live, knowing i'll never get to experience that

>>4995113 (OP)
Is that a panther, cougar, mountain lion, puma, or shadow cat?

>>4996518
nyes

>>4997271

Googar :dd

most of the posts in this thread are MEDIUM cats, not big cats

>>4997795

>>4995200
Bobcats are a much more realistic consideration since they are basically dog size

for me it's cheetahs

>>4998066
wow that is a shamefully small image tbdesu. It's a shame how hard it is to find decent resolution wildlife photography online

>>4996455
I kinda felt this when I finally got a cat.
I mean I'd had cats as a kid but it had been many years, I finally got a place that allowed animals and got another cat.
Now I'm a bit antisocial, I'm sure y'all can relate, but having a little cuddle tiger rub his face on me any time I was home was a revelation. I am severely touch-starved and this little goober saved me.

I want to cuddle with a puma so bad

>>4998072
Try looking for a good animal background, google images is full of ai slop no matter what you search for. I switched to bing and it’s better for actual photography imo

>>4995113 (OP)
you can't make this shit up

I don't know why they do this.

>>4998926
first time I see a lion and a lioness being cute together, all documentaries I have seen just show them fucking for a second or just being completely indifferent

Flickr is the place to go for animal photos. Mandenno Photography and Tambako the Jaguar are two users with fantastic cat pics. Plenty of hobbyists who take great shots as well, and if they disallow photo downloading you can use inspect element to just grab the image url and download from that.

Hey /an/, can you do me a favor and post your best pics of big cats doing stuff? Jumping, posing, running, stretching, whatever. I need reference material for learning to draw these guys.

Any species in particular you're looking for?

>>4999511
>>4999509
Thanks anon!
I'm looking for all Big cats in general really. Personally I'm partial to Cheetahs and googers, but I need a bit of diversity since the cats in Pantherinae are built very differently from the ones in Felinae.

God dammit I was gonna post that but had to wait for the fucking timer.

>>5002406
Puma-posting ninjas are everywhere these days

Clouded leopards must rival cheetahs in affection level, I don't think I've seen a single video that wasn't acting like a cuddle bug

>>5002487
They're very special little guys

I think the fact that she keeps her jaguar obese but all the other cats are in relatively good shape implies that they might be the most aggressive pantherans out there

>>5003268
I dunno, he's always been chunky, and seeing as she works at a rescue (as opposed to privately owning them) I'd imagine they do their best to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. Some rescues regularly keep animals at a slightly-overweight level and call it "sanctuary weight", so that if a cat gets sick and starts losing mass rapidly, their body has a buffer of extra energy to help fight off the illness. Plus Tank has always been calm and friendly on camera, don't think I've once seen him be aggressive. also jaguars are just fat fucks in the first place lmao

>>5003486

what would be these pussies reaction if they saw a big canine cock?

>>5003977
Refer to the post above yours

holy fuck imagine a cat the size of a lion

>>5004225
You don't have to imagine, here's one!

>>5004229
they really made everything. thank you amazong....

>Indeed, no one grieves the death of their youth, which is in reality much more tragic than the death of old age. The decay from a flourishing and sweet existence to one of pain and decrepitude is far greater than the latter state to not existing at all.

do big cats react to catnip?

>>5004359
Where would you say Val Gruener falls? I'd say Lawful Good, being that his work is part of a wildlife reserve, though he doesn't exactly "own" Sirga.
>>5004388
It seems very species and individual dependent, though some do react similarly to domestic cats.

I haven't heard of him before, looks like a small channel

>>5004931
I seriously have to wonder how these creatures don't stick out like a red thumb in the snow

>>5005382
Even in a snowscape, there's still plenty of brown trees, tall (albeit dead) grasses, and rocky terrain to break up the background. It's definitely not as ridiculously effective as a snow leopard's coloration, for instance, but it seems to work fine for them as an all-season solution.

Snow leopard camo op pls nerf

Anyone has the puma gf Anon story saved? Can't find it and it's quite old at this point.

>>5005463
This one? I mean, if I had a nickle for every time I heard about someone who got sexual with their wild feline, I'd have about 2 nickels. So it's probably this one.

>>5005464
>2009
Grim. He posted multiple pictures, do you also have those or just the screencap?

>>5005475
Pretty sure this is the only one I have.

>>5005475
(Deleted first post cause I found a higher res version.) Still the only one from him that I have saved, unfortunately.

>>5005478
There was at least one more where you could see a framed photo of the puma on his nightstand, that's the one I'm looking for.

>>5005479
Turns out I am retarded and these are two different pictures. Lower res but this seems to be the one

>>5005480
Thanks. Yes, the original was higher res.

A small kerfuffle of cheetahs

>>5005444
>>5005382
Nope. Have you never wondered why hunting gear is orange? It's because most prey animals can't see orange but to us, is the brightest fucking thing and "sticks out like a sore thumb" making it less likely we'll shoot a motherfucker. Anyway, to most prey, tigers actually look green and brown. Weird, I know, but it's true.

What are my odds of surviving an encounter with one of those in the wild?

I'm 5'5", 155lbs and have a mean right hook

>>5005775
Pretty low if it a full grown Panthera genus cat decides to outright attack you, though they tend to avoid humans so you probably wouldn't even know there's a cat nearby. Same goes for cheetahs and cougars, which are the only other cats I'd consider a threat to a grown man's life. Maybe clouded leopards if they really get the drop on you, but they're smol and tend not to pick fights.

>>5005480
why did god curse me with this self destructive impulse...

>>5005446
There was a series of pictures with hidden sneps. Can someone post them pls? I'd like to collect those

>>5005775
What's your BFP?

>>4995199
science suggests it may have been some sort of medium sized cat

>>5005869
Got you, reached image limit but the ones I have on hand are uploaded here: ibb(dot)co(slash)album(slash)9bGrxQ

>>5006704
Thanks anon. I would give you a cute pic in return but the limit was reached. See you in the next thread

>>5005464
Fingering to me doesn't seem as bad as outright banging her. Am I crazy for thinking that?

>>5003286
>also jaguars are just fat fucks in the first place lmao
you have to keep the muscles with meat.
