American Cheetah - Miracinonyx Inexpectatus

Miracinonyx Inexpectatus

M. inexpectatus was more similar to the cougar than was M. trumani, its proportions between that of the cougar and M. trumani. It had fully retractable claws, and with its lighter build, the Miracinonyx inexpectatus was likely faster than the cougar. Due to the retractable claws, it is also possible that it was more adept at climbing than M. trumani.
