Panthera is a genus within the family Felidae, and one of two extant genera in the subfamily Pantherinae.It contains the largest living members of the cat family. There are five living species: the jaguar, leopard, lion, snow leopard and tiger, as well as a number of extinct species, including the cave lion and American lion.
The Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr) is the smallest leopard subspecies. It was described in 1830 and is native to the Arabian Peninsula , where it was widely distributed in rugged hilly and montane terrain until the late 1970s.
†Pachypanthera de Bonis et al., 2023 The Pantherinae is a subfamily of the Felidae ; it was named and first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1917 as only including the Panthera species, [ 2 ] but later also came to include the clouded leopards (genus Neofelis ).
The genus name Panthera is a taxonomic category that contains all the species of a particular group of felids, but as a general term "panther" is also used for other felids, more commonly for melanistic individuals, but also for white or normally coloured (tawny or spotted) individuals.

The African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) is the nominate subspecies of the leopard, native to many countries in Africa. It is widely distributed in most of sub-Saharan Africa, but the historical range has been fragmented in the course of habitat conversion. Leopards have also been recorded in North Africa as well.
Pachypanthera was a pantherine cat, related to Neofelis, Panthera, and possibly Miopanthera. However, a phylogenetic analysis was not conducted in the description of Pachypanthera , and so its exact evolutionary relationships remain unresolved.
In Asia, Panthera's Tigers Forever project is planning a 5,000-mile (8,000 km) long corridor from Bhutan to Myanmar for wild tiger populations. The corridor would also include land in northeast India, Thailand, and Malaysia, and possibly Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
