🔳 Relationship of Neelagiri Kaduva to Smilodon or Homotherium
Neelagiri Kaduva doesn't have any saber-tooth, so it could not be directly related to Smilodon or Homotherium. Though a very distant relationship would definitely be there.

🔳 Relationship of Neelagiri Kaduva to Amphicyonidae
Amphicyon was the typical bear-dog amphicyonid with morphology similar to both bears and dogs. The largest species looked more like a bear than a dog.
Morphologically Neelagiri Tiger is very different from Amphicyonidae Family.
The Face of Neelagiri Kaduva looks more like a Mix of a Dog and a Tiger's Face. Therefore we can discard Amphicyonidae Family.

🔳 Relationship of Neelagiri Kaduva to Hyaenidae
Certain features of Neelagiri Kaduva has vague resemblance to Hyenas, like the nature of the hair. But it is certainly not any sort of Hyena.
Though Hyena is not present in Kerala, we still have Striped Hyenas in India.
Another very interesting Similarity of Neelagiri Kaduva and Hyenas are that, for both, the body is taller in the Fore Limbs, whereas it's shorter in the Hind Limbs area.
But the point to Note is that, that is due to Two Entirely different reasons.
● For Hyena the difference in height happens mainly due to the Slanting of the Body from Front to Back.
● For Neelagiri Kaduva the difference in height happens due to the fact that the Hind Legs are SMALLER than the Front Legs !

■ In my New Scientific Method to prove a New Species, F3B-NSPM, one of the the main Species which I considered, and then discarded with Proof, Scientifically, is Hyena.

🟩 Family Status and Family Name of Neelagiri Kaduva !
■ Neelagiri Kaduva is a New Family Altogether ‼
From the start itself, I didn't have any doubt, about the Family Status of Neelagiri Tiger. From the month of Discovery, ie September 2014 itself, I have Classified Neelagiri Kaduva as a NEW FAMILY !
You can see that in My Websites and Articles about Neelagiri Tiger since 2014.
● But very interestingly, Neelagiri Tiger has the Features of both Cat and Dog Families. It is very Evident from the last two Sub - Sections.
■ This Points to the Fact that Neelagiri Kaduva is the Common Ancestor of Felidae and Canidae.
✅ I have Conferred the Family Name of KADUVANEELA to Neelagiri Kaduva Family .

🛑 Species Name of Neelagiri Kaduva !
I have Conferred the Scientific Name of Poorvika Kaduvarar to Neelagiri Kaduva .
..............................
Scientific Classification of Neelagiri Kaduva

▪️No Scientific Name was given till now, as there was TOTAL NON - COOPERATION from the Academic Institutions or Indian Government.
There is Opposition and Attacks, even Physical Attacks, from the Criminals in Political parties, Religious Fanatics, Kerala Government, Indian Government etc., as I am an Activist and Opposes Wrong things in the Society.
Finally, I have decided to give the Scientific Name and Family Name of Neelagiri Kaduva, all by Myself !
