pWhen most people think of big cats, they picture Africa or Asia, but the South American jaguar is the third largest feline in the world, behind only the tiger and lion. The largest cat found in the Americas and the third largest cat in the world, jaguars hold an iconic place in culture. The earliest known fossil of a big cat was found in Tibet and is between 4-6 million years old. This was believed to be the ancestor of all modern big cats. About 4 million years ago, the ancestor of the tiger and snow leopard diverged and soon after the ancestor of the lion, leopard, and jaguar did as well.
