Felis (cats) and Ursus (bears) are not closely related, as they belong to different families within the order Carnivora. Felis is part of the Felidae family, while Ursus belongs to the Ursidae family. Although they share a common ancestor within Carnivora, their evolutionary paths diverged millions of years ago, leading to distinct adaptations and characteristics.

Scientists have determined that the Ursus maritimus or polar bear and the Ursus arctos or brown bear, are genetically related. This is supported by the evidence that these 2 species can interbreed to produce a hybrid, fertile offspring.
i think yes
Canis felis and Felis canis are only related in that neither one exists.Canis is the dog family, and Felis is the cat family.
The brown bears scientific name is "Ursus arctos".
Ursus maritimus (polar bear) and Ursus americanus (American black bear) are more closely related to each other than to Bufo americanus (American toad). Both polar bears and black bears belong to the same genus, Ursus, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship. In contrast, Bufo americanus belongs to a different class (Amphibia) and represents a distinct lineage from mammals.
Carnivores in the rocky mountains include the following:Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos)Black bear (Ursus americanus)Gray wolf (Canis lupus)Coyote (Canis latrans)Mountain lion (Puma concolor)Lynx (Felis lynx)Bobcat (Felis rufus)Wolverine (Gulo gulo)Fisher (Martes pennanti)Marten (Martes americana)Source: MODELING CARNIVORE HABITAT IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND SUGGESTED STRATEGY
Felis leo, also known as the lion, is most closely related to other big cats in the Panthera genus such as tigers, leopards, and jaguars. They all share a common ancestor and are part of the Felidae family.
no, because pandas are classified ursus in binomial nomenclature and zebras are not.

Yes. The brown and polar bears are very close relatives. The two species diverged within the last several hundred thousand years.
Ursus maritimus ("sea bear") is the scientific name for a polar bear.(Originally the polar bear was classified a separate genus from other species of bears, as Thalarctos maritimus.)I think its Ursus maritimus but i am not 100% sure :)The scientific name for the polar bear is Ursus maritimus.Formally Thalarctos Maritimus. However, since recent data shows they are very closely related to brown bears, it has been changed to Ursus Maritimus.The scientific name for polar bears is Ursus maritimus.
