The History of Cats (That We Know Of) Compilation | Lindsay Nikole

Описание: Dive into the origins of the Cat lineage! From the first true Cat Proailurus 30 million years ago, through the mysterious "Cat Gap" in the fossil record, to Pseudaelurus and the major split that gave us both modern cats and saber-tooths. Discover how these early felines evolved from civet-like ancestors and began their journey to becoming some of Earth's most successful predators.
