What is the leopard evolutionary tree?

Nobody knows.Leopards are felids in the genus Panthera. The last common ancestor for animals in this genus is generally believed to have lived about six and a half million years ago. Leopards appear to be related to lions, tigers, snow leopards, jaguars, and clouded leopards, but the exact details are not entirely clear.They're more distantly related to the other felids (cats, cheetahs), and even more distantly related to other feliforms like hyenas and mongooses.One thing that makes it tricky is that fossils of all felids tend to look pretty much alike, with the most notable distinction usually being size, and there are a number of extinct species which must have looked very similar to cats despite being rather more closely related to kangaroos.


Are organisms in the same phylum classified in the same family?

No they cannot. In biological classification, the family comes after the class. Basically that means that the family is more specific than the class so two animals that are in the same family may not necessarily be in the same class.


What animals are more closely related those in the same order or the same genus?

Order is as follows: Life Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species To answer your question, animals in the same Genus are more closely related then those of the same Order.

How many kinds of animals are there?

No-one knows for definite because we are always discovering more or a species becomes extinct.There could be more than thousands.There are many types of animals on Earth. I am not positive on how many, but there are vertebrates and invertabrates. Invertebrates are animals without a backbone. For an example, snakes or worms. Vertebrates are the opposite. They are animals with a backbone. For an example, dogs, cats and birds. Most of the animals on Earth are vertebrates.

Which pair are more related rats and cats or cats and dogs?

Domestic cats and dogs are more closely related than cats and rats. Cats and dogs diverge at Order Carnivora, cats to Feliformia and dogs to caniformia. Cats and rats, on the other hand diverge at Infraclass Eutheria, rats to Rodentia and cats to Carnivora.(Dogs belong to Genus Canis, cats to Genus Felis, and rats to Genus Rattus.)Cats and dogs both descend from a weasel-like mammal known as cynodictis.


Are foxes and rats more closely related than foxes and dogs?

No, unless we are speaking in evolutionarily historical terms.Both domestic cats (Felis catus), and species of foxes (in the family Canidae) are in the Mammalian order Carnivora. They are in different suborders and families, so while they no doubt share some percentage of their genome, there is no useful relationship to speak of beyond the evolutionary context.
