Bobcat is not a common name for Felis concolor; it is actually a type of lynx. Felis concolor is more commonly known as the mountain lion or cougar.
Felis catus Felis domesticus both are used and both argued about
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.
The genus IS Felis. The whole classification is: Kingdom - Animalia; Phylum - Chordata; Class - Mammalia; Order - Carnivora; Suborder - Feliformia; Family - Felidae; Subfamily - Felinae; Genus - Felis. The species below the genus Felis get a little fuzzy - with Felis sylvestris catus being the consensus, but with some usage (archaic, I think) of Felis domesticatus or Felis domesticus catus, and Felis catus ('catus' being italicized). [SEE LINK: > re: where, why, and why not domesticated animals should have that status explicit in the scientific nomenclature of a species. Do multi-generation feral cats lose the nomenclature for being a domesticated species, for example?] The link concludes: "*ANY* designation of a domesticated species is theoretically incorrect..."
Felis catus, commonly known as the domestic cat, is a single species within the Felis genus.
While felids in general are surprisingly cross-fertile, Felis concolor (various common names including puma, cougar,mountain lion, and panther) is far too large to successfully mate with Felis silvestris (the domestic house cat); Pumas are much more likely to regard a housecat as prey than as a viable mate.
The term Felis concolor is obsolete and the animal is now called Puma concolor with the genus being Puma.
Animalia. However, felis domesticus is now an invalid name for the domestic cat. The correct Scientific name for a cat is Felis catus.
The Genus of Felis domesticus is Felis. The entire classification is Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Family: Felidae, Genus: Felis and Species: F. domesticus.
The correct way to write "felis concolor" is in italics, as it is a scientific name (binomial nomenclature) for the cougar. The genus name "Felis" should be capitalized, while the species name "concolor" should be in lowercase. Therefore, it should be written as Felis concolor.
Felis rufus is the obsolete taxonomic name for the bobcat. It is now called Lynx rufus and is closely related to the other three species of lynx. Eurasian lynx - Lynx lynxCanada lynx - Lynx canadensisIberian lynx - Lynx pardinus
