felis is a small cats and panthera is a big cats
The answer above is not quite correct. Oddly enough, the characteristic which taxonymists use to make the distinction between these two genii is the roar, or conversely, it's absence. There are only two members of the genus panthera found in the new world, the Lynx(Panthera lynx canadensis) and the Bobcat(Panthera lynx rufus). Although significantly larger than either of it's fellow Western Hemisphere co-habitants, The Puma, or as it is known in some parts, the Mountain Lion (Felis concolor) is endowed with a caterwaul (or 'scream') rather than a roar and is thus a member of Felinaerather than Pantherina.
There is one more genus present in the family felidaepopulated with but a single member. Acinonyx jubata, or more familiarly, the Cheetah is the fastest running of all the felines. (fastest running critter on the whole planet, for that matter..) The cheetah purrs but hasn't a roar. The characteristic which earns jubata it's very own genus is the lack of retractable claws. (I think that if I were tooling along, barefoot, at a brisk clip of 70 m.p.h. or so, I might be tempted to leave my claws out for traction as well!)
I hope that this answers your question clearly and adequately.
The main difference between the genus Panthera and genus Felis is the size of the species within each genus. Panthera includes larger cats like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars, while Felis includes smaller cats like domestic cats and wildcats. Additionally, Panthera species are capable of roaring, whereas Felis species cannot roar.
The African lion (Panthera leo) belongs to the genus Panthera and is a member of the family Felidae. Other species in this genus include the tiger, the leopard, and the jaguar.
Yes, the genus species name for the African lion is Panthera leo.
The genus and species name for the Domestic Cat is Felis catus.
The tiger belongs to the genus Panthera.
An example of an organism that is in the same genus but a different species is the lion (Panthera leo) and the tiger (Panthera tigris). Both lions and tigers belong to the genus Panthera, but they are distinct species within that genus.
Genus has : panthera, felis, canis, gorilla, pan, homo
NO, they belong to panthera.Trueyes
There are various genus of cats these include felis (this includes all small cats) and Panthera, which includes lion leopard jaguar snow leopard and tiger
The African lion (Panthera leo) belongs to the genus Panthera and is a member of the family Felidae. Other species in this genus include the tiger, the leopard, and the jaguar.
The domestic cat is of the genus Felis.Other genera of the cat family, Family Felidae include:Acinonyx (cheetah)CaracalCatopumaLeopardusLeptailurus (serval)LynxNeofelis (clouded leopards, 2 species)Panthera (jaguar, lion, leopard, tiger)ProfelisPumaUncia (snow leopard)There are about 38 species in Felidae in total.
"Genus" comes from a Latin word that means something like "family."It's the first half of the Linnaean binomial taxonomy.So, for example, domestic cats are Felis catus. (The genus name is always capitalized, the species name is always not.) The closely related wildcat is Felis silvestris. The also closely related sand cat is Felis margarita. The somewhat more distantly related lion, while still a felid, is in a different genus, Panthera (specificially, Panthera leo).

The lion belongs to the genus Panthera which also includes the tiger, jaguar, and leopard.
