Topic	Ask me anything about tigers.
SaltyWet 03/25/22 5:34:02 PM #32:	Ar0ge posted... You're not telling me anything I don't already know and I guess you're not understanding my question. Colloquially, feline has been used to mean cat or catlike. In modern cladistic taxonomy, felinae is a subfamily of felidae . Panthera is the other subfamily of felidae which tigers are classified under. By this categorization, tigers are felids but NOT feline and I'm wondering if scientists/biologists make this distinction . Would calling a tiger a feline be technically, scientifically incorrect? when youre asking taxonomic question you rarely ever get a consensus agreement. Thus there is no right or wrong answer here. Sorry if this is a dissatisfying answer but it is what it is. For the record I still consider them felines. Ivynn posted... Do you think tigers will still be around in the next 50 years?
