About this listen

Proailurus was the earliest known ancestor of modern cats, appearing around 27 million years ago. Similar in size to large domestic cats, it was likely tree-dwelling, with a body structure and long tail suited for an arboreal lifestyle. These early felines were specialized hunters that declined during a poorly understood period known as the Cat Gap, possibly due to environmental changes from forests to grasslands. Despite their disappearance, Proailurus laid the evolutionary foundation for all modern members of the cat family.
