Panthera zdanskyi is an extinct pantherine species, the fossils of which were excavated in Gansu Province, northwestern China. Due to its close relationship with the modern tiger (Panthera tigris), it is called the Longdan tiger.[1]
As of 2023, at least two recent studies considered P. zdanskyi likely to be a synonym of Panthera palaeosinensis, noting that its proposed differences from that species fell within the range of individual variation.[2][3]
