- Since the big cats has faded away after the departure of humanity, the feral cats, the somewhat successful ancestor of the mettapanther, have the chance to take their role, evolving into large pantherine carnivores.

- There are about 4 subspecies of Mettapanther.

  • Spotted mettapanther (M. m. tholos) - An African subspecies of mettapanther whose coat resembles a clouded leopard and an African wild dog combined.
  • Spanish mettapanther (M. m. ispanica) - A Spanish subspecies of mettapanther and is the smallest of the mettapanthers.
  • Buckandee (M. m. buckandii) - The largest mettapanther subspecies and is the apex predator of Australia. It is also known as the Buckandee mettapanther, or Outback mettapanther
  • Chinese mettapanther (M. m. laohu) - A Chinese subspecies of mettapanther and is the rarest of all mettapanthers, as well as being the smallest of them all.

    What can I say, feral cats are widespread except in Antarctica.

    that's not how that works. they are not going to evolve and be the same creatures when they are on 2 very differentΒ sides of the world. and there's no way they can make it to the americas, because it's isolated.

    Then perhaps I should scrap the two American mettapanthers, should I?

    Well you could've also had the American mettapanthers be a convergently evolved sister group that don't look the same anatomically, but are very similar, kinda like the old/new world vulture thing

    Although I don't think they'll be that large, cougar size is better.

    I see.

    Perhaps I should later change the size, should I?
