Look at all Those Dog-Gone Cats!!!
All 36 species of wild cat live on every land mass excluding Australia, Antartica, and some small island chains.
The majority of species are indigenous to only one continent. "The great natural barrier of the Atlantic Ocean also serves to divide the 'New World' species from the 'Old World' - with the exception of the Lynx, which can be found as distinct sub-species in both North America and Eurasia."
