Most continents are home to at least 1 cat species but some parts of the world have larger and more deadly cats than others.

It’s interesting to note that mountain lions are expanding their range back to Eastern North America.

Way to go pal!!
Here’s a ranking video
Ranking the largest old world monkeys

[edgarrojas]

America: I have the third largest cat The Jaguar.

Africa: I have the second largest cat The Lion.

Asia: I have the largest cat the Tiger.

Antarctica: You guys are having cats?

[Pigill]

Amazing video! Very formal and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.

[flyingoctopusgaming]

Do a ranking continents by the largest herbivores next

[mantaray]

YouTube is crowded with prevaricators who splice together unrelated strips of videotape. Tsuki is not one of those. He presents well researched and produced wildlife videos with excellent content.

[baldbastardo]

There's so much junk infesting YouTube in this genre that it makes me appreciate well informed and info dense content such as this channel. No fluff, no sensational filler and the info is on point as far as I can tell.

Nice work! Subscribed.

If domesticated cats were taken to say Antartica and didn’t die immediately from the cold they’d destroy the penguin population in a few months or years

[aaaydenwetsell]

now, do a rank all the 7 continents by there largest dog - from smallest to largest video to go with this one.

[sidneyvandykeii]

Those feral cats in Australia are getting big. Size for size they are probably the best hunters in Australia also. I would love to see how big they are in another 50 years an I would definitely love to see how big they are in 1, 000 or even 10, 000 years.

[n.k.e]

Excelent video, it´s no surprising, now it would be interesting if the top changes but with the prehistoric cats of each continent

[Vergilsolosyourfavouriteverse]

I was just roaming in your channel and found this video uploaded 46 secs ago

[mickhack]

Underrated educational channel.

What are your thoughts about Lynx´ slowly moving through Germany to the Netherlands and Belgium?

[mtkoslowski]

Antarctica: What about the leopard seal - that’s a cat!

[sparkyfromel]

There is feral cats on sub antarctic of Kerguelen and Macquarie island where they have a devastating impact

[Tcm_edits.]

I love how the hyena just trots and steals the cheetahs food and trots away like a normal day lol

[michaeutech]

largest north american cat is the jaguar, recently moved back into arizona who appear on film to outweigh mountain lions

[NebezpecnyXomakc]

a Eurasian lynx was also seen in the Chernobyl reserve

[whitmerule]

Bonus round for Australia would be 'not a cat, not even a placental, and also extinct, but have you heard of thylacoleo...?'

[harvwehlage]

Man, you really know your cats! Thanks so much for sharing. You haven't forgotten a single one. I think you got them all. I am totally a cat person. The Lion is my favorite.🦁👍
