Panthera schreuderi
Panthera schreuderi is a possible prehistoric species of large cat that is now extinct. It lived in Europe during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene. Turner and O'Brien, among others, have argued that the few known specimens all belong, instead, to the species Panthera gombaszoegensis.[1]
