Since I noticed a lot of big cats pushing the average species measurements, I decided to compose a species list!!
Family Felidae
* Genus Machairodontinae
o Smilodon
- S. Gracilis
~Length:
~Height:
~Weight: Males; 220 lb // Females; 150 lb
- S. Fatalis
~Length: 5 ft - 7 ft
~Height: 3 ft 2 in - 3 ft - 9 in
~Weight: Males; 450 - 620 lb // Females; 300- 550 lb
- S. Populator
* Genus Panthera (roaring or great cats)
o Tiger, Panthera tigris (Asia)
- Bengal Tiger(Panthera tigris tigris)
~Length: 9 ft - 10 ft
~Height: 3 ft - 3 ft 6 in
~Weight: Males; 487.7 lb // Females; 308 lb
Important note: chinchilla albinistic(the gene that makes white tigers white) is ONLY found in Bengal Tigers and can only be transferred to others through cross-breeding.
- Indochinese Tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti)
~Length: 7.5 ft - 9 ft
~Height: 3 ft - 3 ft 4 in
~Weight: Males; 380lbs // Females 255lbs

~Weight: Males 540lbs // Females 330lbs
-South China Tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis)
~Length: 7.5 ft - 8 ft
~Height: 2 ft 10 in - 3 ft 4 in
~Weight: Males 330lbs // Females 240lbs

~Height: 2 ft 7 in - 3 ft 4 in
~Weight: Males 265lbs // Females 210lbs
o Lion, Panthera leo (Africa, Gir Forest in India; extinct in former range of southeast Europe, Middle East, much of Asia, and North America)
-African Lion (Sub-Saharan) (Disputed taxonomic name)
~Length: 5.5 ft – 8 ft
~Height: 3 ft 6 in - 4 ft
~Weight: Males 435 lbs // Females 300lbs
-Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica)
~Length: 5 ft - 7.5 ft
~Height: 3 ft 4 in - 3 ft 10 in
~Weight: Males 410 lbs // Females 290lbs
o Jaguar, Panthera onca (the Americas; from the Southern United States and Mexico to northern Argentina)
-Jaguar (Panthera onca)
~Length: 5.5 ft - 6 ft
~Height: 2 ft 8 in - 3 ft 2 in
~Weight: Males 170lbs // Females 150lbs
Important Note: Panthers are melanistic (black) jaguars.
o Leopard, Panthera pardus (Asia and Africa)
-African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus)
~Length: 5 ft - 7 ft
~Height: 1 ft 8 in - 2 ft 6 in
~Weight: Males 130lbs // Females 90lbs
-Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)
~Length: 4.5 ft - 7 ft
~Height: 1 ft 6 in - 2 ft 4 in
~Weight: Male 90lbs // Female 75lbs
-Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr)
~Length: 4 ft - 4.5 ft
~Height: 1 ft 3 in - 1 ft 8 in
~Weight: Males 65lbs // Females 45 lbs
-Indian leopard (Panthera pardus fusca)
~Length: 4 ft - 6 ft
~Height: 1 ft 6 in - 2 ft
~Weight: Males 150lbs // Females 110lbs
* Genus Acinonyx
o Cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus (Africa and Iran; extinct in former range of India)
* Genus Puma
o Cougar, Puma concolor (North and South America)
* Genus Uncia
o Snow Leopard, Uncia uncia (mountains of central and south Asia)
* Genus Neofelis
o Bornean Clouded Leopard, Neofelis diardi (Borneo and Sumatra)
o Clouded Leopard, Neofelis nebulosa (southeast and south Asia)
ALSO! Super huge cats that are exceeding 650lbs are a no go anymore. Not only are they pushing Wolf Cove's rules and regulations, but they'd be kind of a burden to the tribe after time, not a benefit. Why? Because of the health issues that the hybrids could get from being so BIG. Look at Undomesticated- She's huge from genetic experimentation, unfortunately due to this she can not feel pain. But wait kids! It's a curse- she could freeze to death, over heat and bleed out without even knowing! Now this doesn't apply to all big cat hybrids! But those exceeding 600lbs and are only 2 feet tall or so? Yeah... their muscle mass would crush their bones as time progressed. Ligers and Tigons are real big cat mixes, and they suffer from very painful problems; Their growth gene is pretty much "broken" and they suffer from muscle growth their body can't keep up with bone-wise. Now don't let this keep you from applying!! As long as you keep your character real, it's within The RP dream and Solaris's rules, you will most likely be accepted! but I just wanted to make that known
