The leopard is one of the five extant species in the genus Panthera.

- Four European Pleistocene leopard subspecies were proposed. P. p. begoueni from the beginning of the Early Pleistocene was replaced about 0.6 million years ago by P. p. sickenbergi, which in turn was replaced by P. p. antiqua around 0.3 million years ago.
- Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, in the north up to Derby in England, in the east to Přerov in the Czech Republic and the Baranya in southern Hungary, Leopard fossils dating to the Late Pleistocene were found in Biśnik Cave in south-central Poland.
- Until 1940, similar fossils dating back to the Pleistocene were excavated mostly in loess and caves at 40 sites in Europe, including Furninha Cave near Lisbon, Genista Caves in Gibraltar, and Santander Province in northern Spain to several sites across France,
- Leopard-like fossil bones and teeth possibly dating to the Pliocene were excavated in Perrier in France, northeast of London, and in Valdarno, Italy.
- Leopards first arrived in Eurasia during the late Early-early Middle Pleistocene around 1.2 to 0.6 million years ago.

- Additionally, a 2016 study revealed that the mitochondrial genomes of the leopard, lion and snow leopard are more similar to each other than their nuclear genomes, indicating that their ancestors hybridized with the snow leopard at some point in their evolution.
- The leopard-lion clade diverged 3.1–1.95 million years ago.
- The leopard-lion clade was distributed in the Asian and African Palearctic since at least the early Pliocene.
- The geographic origin of the *Panthera* is most likely northern Central Asia.
- Results of a phylogenetic analysis of chemical secretions amongst cats indicated that the leopard is closely related to the lion.
- The leopard is a sister taxon to a clade within Panthera, consisting of the lion and the jaguar.
- The tiger diverged about 6.55 million years ago, followed by the snow leopard about 4.63 million years ago and the leopard about 4.35 million years ago.
- Neofelis diverged about 8.66 million years ago from the Panthera lineage.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.

- Results of phylogenetic studies based on nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA analysis showed that the last common ancestor of the Panthera and Neofelis genera is thought to have lived about 6.37 million years ago.

- Results of an analysis of molecular variance and pairwise fixation index of 182 African leopard museum specimens showed that some African leopards exhibit higher genetic differences than Asian leopard subspecies.

- Since 1996, only eight subspecies have been considered valid on the basis of mitochondrial analysis.
- Following Linnaeus' first description, 27 leopard subspecies were proposed by naturalists between 1794 and 1956.
- In 1917, Reginald Innes Pocock also subordinated the tiger (P. tigris), lion (P. leo), and jaguar (P. onca) to Panthera.
- The leopard was designated as the type species of Panthera by Joel Asaph Allen in 1902.
- Oken's classification was not widely accepted, and Felis or Leopardus was used as the generic name until the early 20th century.
- who included all the known spotted cats into this group.
- The generic name Panthera was first used by Lorenz Oken in 1816,
- Felis pardus was the scientific name proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1758.

- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!
