Scientists have unearthed the oldest big cat
fossil in Tibet, suggesting the predator, similar to a snow leopard evolved in
Asia. The nearly complete skull dug up in Tibet was estimated at 4.4 million
years old, older than the big cat remains recovered from Tanzania dating to
about 3.7 million years ago. The find was detailed in Wednesday's Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
