[PAR] [TLE] Pseudaelurus [SEP] Pseudaelurus is a prehistoric cat that lived in Europe, Asia and North America in the Miocene between approximately 20 to 8 million years ago.  It is an ancestor of today's felines and pantherines as well as the extinct machairodont saber-tooths, and is a successor to "Proailurus".  It originated from Eurasia and was the first felid to reach North America, when it entered the continent at about 18.5 Ma ending a 'cat-gap' of 7 million years.  The slender proportions of the animal, together with its short, viverrid-like legs, suggest that it may have been an agile climber of trees. [PAR] [TLE] Proailurus [SEP] Proailurus (meaning "before the cat") is an extinct carnivoran felid that lived in Europe and Asia approximately 25 million years ago in the Late Oligocene and Miocene.  Fossils have been found in Mongolia, Germany, and Spain.  One recent phylogeny places it as a basal member of the Feliformia, the suborder that includes mongooses, civets, hyenas, and cats; but other studies suggest that it instead was a felid (a true cat).
