[42] [172] The largest wolf (Canis lupus) subspecies ever existed in Europe is the Canis lupus maximus from the Late Pleistocene of France. Its long bones are 10% larger than those of extant European wolves and 20% longer than those of C. l. lunellensis. [173] The Late Pleistocene Italian wolf was morphometrically close to C. l. maximus. [174]
Due to its close relationship with the modern tiger (Panthera tigris), it is called the Longdan tiger. [ 1 ] As of 2025, at least three recent studies considered P. zdanskyi likely to be a synonym of Panthera palaeosinensis , noting that its proposed differences from that species fell within the range of individual variation.
Panthera palaeosinensis was an early Pleistocene species from northern China. It is often incorrectly referenced as the ancestor of the tiger, Panthera tigris, although it shares features with all living large cats. Recent studies place it close to the base of the genus Panthera. [1] [2]
