Speedy ice cats!!!

[u/Kunning-Druger]

Not a species I expected.

[u/Hazel-Eyed-Redhead → u/Kunning-Druger]

Miracinonyx, not Acinonyx.

[u/Kunning-Druger → u/Hazel-Eyed-Redhead]

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I didn't even realize ice-age cheetahs ranged this far north in asia.

[u/himalayanthro → u/Traditional_Isopod80]

Yukon is NW Canada

[u/Traditional_Isopod80 → u/himalayanthro]

However cheetahs must have been present in Northern Asia in order to have made it to Canada. I wasn't aware of that is what I meant.

[u/Hazel-Eyed-Redhead → u/Traditional_Isopod80]

It was a Miracinonyx, not a Acinonyx.

[u/Traditional_Isopod80 → u/Hazel-Eyed-Redhead]

Oh okay, thanks.
