Solve the question: What is the genus name of the animal that appears in the work that is the 55th Disney animated feature ? Respond with the correct answer (omit explanations) in JSON format as {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}. Avoid adding external knowledge.

Smilodon is a genus of the extinct machairodont subfamily of the felids . It is one of the most famous prehistoric mammals , and the best known saber-toothed cat . Although commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger , it was not closely related to the tiger or other modern cats . Smilodon lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch ( 2.5 mya - 10,000 years ago ) . The genus was named in 1842 , based on fossils from Brazil . Three species are recognized today : S. gracilis , S. fatalis , and S. populator . The two latter species were probably descended from S. gracilis , which itself probably evolved from Megantereon . The hundreds of individuals obtained from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles constitute the largest collection of Smilodon fossils . Overall , Smilodon was more robustly built than any extant cat , with particularly well-developed forelimbs and exceptionally long upper canine teeth . Its jaw had a bigger gape than that of modern cats , and its upper canines were slender and fragile , being adapted for precision killing . S. gracilis was the smallest species at 55 to 100 kg ( 120 to 220 lb ) in weight . S. fatalis had a weight of 160 to 280 kg ( 350 to 620 lb ) and height of 100 cm ( 39 in ) .
The Flintstones is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera . The series takes place in a romanticized Stone Age setting and follows the activities of the titular family , the Flintstones , and their next-door neighbors , the Rubbles ( who are also their best friends ) . It was originally broadcast on ABC from September 30 , 1960 , until April 1 , 1966 , as the first animated series to hold a prime time slot . The continuing popularity of The Flintstones rests heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting . The Flintstones was the most financially successful and longest-running network animated television series for three decades , until The Simpsons debuted in late 1989 . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked The Flintstones the second-greatest TV cartoon of all time ( after The Simpsons ) .
Fred Flintstone is the main character of the animated sitcom The Flintstones , which aired during prime-time on ABC during the original series ' run from 1960 to 1966 . Fred is the husband of Wilma Flintstone and father of Pebbles Flintstone . His best friend is his next door neighbor , Barney , who has a wife named Betty and an adopted son , named Bamm-Bamm . Fred lives in the fictional prehistoric town of Bedrock , a world where dinosaurs coexist with modernized cavepeople and the cavepeople enjoy primitive versions of modern conveniences such as telephones , automobiles , and washing machines . Fred 's trademark catchphrase yell is yabba dabba doo ! , a phrase that was originally his club 's cheer , and later adopted as part of the theme song from the third season on and used in the 1994 live-action Flintstones movie . Since the original series ' run , Fred has appeared in various other cartoon spinoffs , live action adaptations , music videos , and commercials .
The bobcat ( Lynx rufus ) is a medium-sized North American cat that first appeared during the Irvingtonian stage around 1.8 million years ago ( AEO ) . Containing two recognized subspecies , it ranges from southern Canada to central Mexico , including most of the contiguous United States . The bobcat is an adaptable predator that inhabits wooded areas , as well as semidesert , urban edge , forest edge , and swampland environments . It remains in some of its original range , but populations are vulnerable to local extinction ( extirpation ) by coyotes and domestic animals . With a gray to brown coat , whiskered face , and black-tufted ears , the bobcat resembles the other species of the midsized genus Lynx . It is smaller on average than the Canada lynx , with which it shares parts of its range , but is about twice as large as the domestic cat . It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped , stubby ( or bobbed ) tail , from which it derives its name . Though the bobcat prefers rabbits and hares , it hunts insects , chickens , geese and other birds , small rodents , and deer . Prey selection depends on location and habitat , season , and abundance . Like most cats , the bobcat is territorial and largely solitary , although with some overlap in home ranges . It uses several methods to mark its territorial boundaries , including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces . The bobcat breeds from winter into spring and has a gestation period of about two months .

Ice Age is a 2002 American computer-animated comedy film directed by Chris Wedge and co-directed by Carlos Saldanha from a story by Michael J. Wilson . Produced by Blue Sky Studios as its first feature film , it was released by 20th Century Fox on March 15 , 2002 . The film features the voices of Ray Romano , John Leguizamo , and Denis Leary . Set during the days of the ice age , the film centers around three main characters - Manny ( Romano ) , a no-nonsense woolly mammoth ; Sid ( Leguizamo ) , a loudmouthed ground sloth ; and Diego ( Leary ) , a sardonic saber-tooth tiger - who come across a human baby and work together to return it to its tribe . Additionally , the film occasionally follows Scrat , a speechless saber-toothed squirrel voiced by Wedge who is perpetually searching for a place in the ground to bury his acorn . Ice Age was originally intended as a 2D animated film developed by Fox Animation Studios , but eventually became the first full-length animated film for the newly-reformed Blue Sky , which had been reshaped from a VFX house to a computer animation studio . Focus shifted from making an action-adventure drama film to a more comedy-oriented one , and several writers , such as Michael Berg and Peter Ackerman , were brought on to bring out a wittier tone . Upon release , Ice Age received mostly positive reviews and was nominated at the 75th Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature , losing to Spirited Away . It was a box office success and grossed over $ 383 million , starting the Ice Age franchise , being followed by four sequels : Ice Age : The Meltdown in 2006 , Ice Age : Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 2009 , Ice Age : Continental Drift in 2012 , and Ice Age : Collision Course in 2016 .

The Iberian lynx ( Lynx pardinus ) is a wild cat species native to the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe . It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List . It preys almost exclusively on the European rabbit . In the 20th century , the Iberian lynx population declined because of sharp declines in rabbit populations , caused by myxomatosis , rabbit haemorrhagic disease , overhunting , fragmentation of grassland and forest habitats and poaching . By the turn of the 21st century , the Iberian lynx was on the verge of extinction , as only about 100 individuals survived in two isolated subpopulations in Andalusia . Conservation measures implemented since 2002 included improving habitat , restocking of rabbits , translocating and re-introducing Iberian lynxes , so that by 2012 the population had increased to 326 individuals . As an attempt to save this species from extinction , projects under the EU LIFE Programme have undertaken habitat preservation , lynx population monitoring , and rabbit population management . Formerly considered a subspecies of the Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx ) , the Iberian lynx is now classified as a separate species . Both species occurred together in Central Europe in the Pleistocene . The Iberian lynx is thought to have evolved from Lynx issiodorensis .

The jaguar 's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico in North America , across much of Central America , and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina in South America . Though there are single cats now living within the Western United States , the species has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 20th century . It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List ; and its numbers are declining . Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat . Overall , the jaguar is the largest native cat species of the New World and the third largest in the world . This spotted cat closely resembles the leopard , but is usually larger and sturdier .

The Pink Panther is a fictional animated character who appeared in the opening and/or closing credit sequences of every film in the Pink Panther series except for A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau . In the storyline of the original film , the Pink Panther was the name of a valuable pink diamond named for a flaw that showed a figure of a springing panther when held up to the light in a certain way ; in the credits this was translated to an animated pink panther . The character 's popularity spawned a spin-off franchise of theatrical shorts , television cartoons and merchandise . He starred in 124 short films , 10 TV shows and 4 TV specials . The character is closely associated with The Pink Panther Theme , composed by Henry Mancini .
Panthera is a genus within the family Felidae that was named and described by Lorenz Oken in 1816 who placed all the spotted cats in this group . Reginald Innes Pocock revised the classification of this genus in 1916 as comprising the species lion ( P. leo ) , tiger ( P. tigris ) , jaguar ( P. onca ) , and leopard ( P. pardus ) on the basis of common cranial features . Results of genetic analysis indicate that the snow leopard ( formerly Uncia uncia ) also belongs to the Panthera ( P. uncia ) , a classification that was accepted by IUCN Red List assessors in 2008 . The tiger , lion , leopard , and jaguar are the only cat species with the anatomical structure that enables them to roar . The primary reason for this was formerly assumed to be the incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone . However , new studies show the ability to roar is due to other morphological features , especially of the larynx . The snow leopard does not roar . Although its hyoid bone is incompletely ossified , it lacks the special morphology of the larynx .
The tiger ( Panthera tigris ) is the largest species among the Felidae and classified in the genus Panthera . It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orangish-brown fur with a lighter underside . It is an apex predator , primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and wild boar . It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator , requiring large contiguous areas of habitat , which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring . Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years , before they become independent and leave their mother 's home range to establish their own . The tiger once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin , and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda islands . Since the early 20th century , tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated in Western and Central Asia , from the islands of Java and Bali , and in large areas of Southeast and South Asia and China . Today 's tiger range is fragmented , stretching from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent and Sumatra . The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986 . As of 2015 , the global wild tiger population was estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 mature individuals , down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century , with most remaining populations occurring in small pockets isolated from each other . Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction , habitat fragmentation and poaching . This , coupled with the fact that it lives in some of the more densely populated places on Earth , has caused significant conflicts with humans .
The Pink Panther Show is a showcase of animated shorts produced by David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng between 1969 and 1978 , starring the animated Pink Panther character from the opening credits of the live-action films . The series was produced by Mirisch Films and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises , and was broadcast on two American television networks : from September 6 , 1969 , to September 2 , 1978 , on NBC ; and from September 9 , 1978 , to August 30 , 1980 , on ABC .
The Pink Panther is a British- American media franchise primarily focusing on a series of comedy-mystery films featuring an inept French police detective , Inspector Jacques Clouseau . The franchise began with the release of the classic Pink Panther film in 1963 . The role of Clouseau was originated by and is most closely associated with Peter Sellers . Most of the films were written and directed by Blake Edwards , with theme music composed by Henry Mancini . Elements and characters inspired by the films were adapted into other media , including books , comic books and animated series . The first film in the series derives its name from the eponymous pink diamond that has an enormous size and value . The diamond is called the Pink Panther because the flaw at its center , when viewed closely , is said to resemble a leaping pink panther . The phrase reappears in the title of the fourth film The Return of the Pink Panther , in which the theft of the diamond is again the centre of the plot . The phrase was used for all the subsequent films in the series , even when the jewel did not figure in the plot . The jewel ultimately appeared in six of the eleven films . The first film in the series had an animated opening sequence , created by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises , featuring The Pink Panther Theme by Mancini , as well as the Pink Panther character . This character , designed by Hawley Pratt and Friz Freleng , was subsequently the subject of his own series of animated cartoons which gained its highest profile when aired on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show .
A Shot in the Dark is a 1964 British-American DeLuxe Color comedy film directed by Blake Edwards in Panavision . It is the second installment in The Pink Panther film series , with Peter Sellers reprising his role as Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the French Sûreté . Clouseau 's blundering personality is unchanged , but it was in this film that Sellers began to give him the idiosyncratically exaggerated French accent that was to later become a hallmark of the character . The film also marks the first appearances of Herbert Lom as his long-suffering boss , Commissioner Dreyfus , as well as Burt Kwouk as his stalwart man servant Cato and André Maranne as François , all three of whom would become series regulars . Elke Sommer portrays the murder suspect , Maria Gambrelli . The character of Gambrelli would return in Son of the Pink Panther ( 1993 ) , this time played by Claudia Cardinale , who appeared as Princess Dala in The Pink Panther ( 1963 ) . Graham Stark , who portrays police officer Hercule Lajoy , would reprise this role eighteen years later , in Trail of the Pink Panther ( 1982 ) . The film was not originally written to include Clouseau , but was an adaptation of a stage play by Harry Kurnitz adapted from a French play L'Idiote by Marcel Achard . The film was released only a few months after the first Clouseau film , The Pink Panther .
Inspector Clouseau is a 1968 British comedy film . It was directed by Bud Yorkin , written by Frank Waldman and Tom Waldman and stars Alan Arkin as Inspector Clouseau . It was filmed by Mirisch Films at the MGM-British Studios , Borehamwood and in Europe . Screenwriter Frank Waldman would later co-write The Return of the Pink Panther , The Pink Panther Strikes Again , Revenge of the Pink Panther , and Trail of the Pink Panther . Tom Waldman would co-write Trail with Frank . The film was not directed by Blake Edwards , did not have a score by Henry Mancini and the title role was not portrayed by Peter Sellers . All three were involved at that time with the film The Party . The Mirisch Company wanted to proceed with this film , so when Sellers and Edwards declined to participate , Mirisch decided to proceed without them . The film languished in obscurity and although it has been released to home video on VHS , DVD and Blu-ray , was not included in 2004 's Pink Panther Collection but was later added to the Ultimate collection released in 2008 . The film received mostly negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office . [ citation needed ]

Hanna-Barbera Productions , Inc. ( /ˌhænə bɑːrˈbɛərə , - ˈbɑːrbərə/ HAN-ə bar-BAIR-ə , -⁠ BAR-bər-ə ) , simply known as Hanna-Barbera and also referred to as H-B Enterprises , H-B Production Company and Hanna-Barbera Cartoons , Inc. , was an American animation studio founded in 1957 by Tom and Jerry creators and former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera , in partnership with film director George Sidney . For three decades in the 20th century , it was a prominent force and leader in American television animation as it created a variety of popular animated characters and a succession of cartoon series , including The Huckleberry Hound Show , The Flintstones , The Yogi Bear Show , The Jetsons , Wacky Races , Scooby-Doo , Where Are You ! and The Smurfs . Its cartoons won eight Emmys and seven Oscars and in addition , Hanna and Barbera were honored a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . The two men and Sidney sold the studio to Taft Broadcasting on December 29 , 1966 . By the mid-1980s , when the profitability of Saturday-morning cartoons was eclipsed by weekday afternoon syndication , Hanna-Barbera 's fortunes had declined . Turner Broadcasting System purchased the studio from Taft ( by then renamed Great American Broadcasting ) in late 1991 and used much of its back catalog as the foundation and programming for Cartoon Network and later Boomerang . After Turner purchased the company , Hanna and Barbera continued to serve as creative consultants and mentors . The studio became a subsidiary of Warner Bros . Animation in 1996 following Turner 's merger with Time Warner and was ultimately absorbed into Warner Bros . Animation in 2001 , existing in name only . As of 2020 , Warner Bros. continues to produce new animation based on Hanna-Barbera 's catalog using the Hanna-Barbera brand name .

Both have ancient roots as storytelling and artistic devices , and most cultures have traditional fables with anthropomorphized animals as characters . People have also routinely attributed human emotions and behavioral traits to wild as well as domesticated animals .

Murgatroyd is an English surname . Its etymology , according to one source , is as follows : in 1371 , a constable was appointed for the district of Warley in Yorkshire . He adopted the name of Johanus de Morgateroyde , or literally : Johanus of Moor Gate Royde or the district leading to the moor . Another source says the place name means Margaret 's road . In Norse , the Royd meant Clearing ( as in a forest ) Although Moorgate in London was a gate with the road to the moor passing through , in Yorkshire , Gate ( again from Norse ) means street , so Moor Gate Royd would be A clearing in the forest on the road to the moor . The name is also used in the favorite catchphrase of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Snagglepuss - Heavens to Murgatroyd ! . The name may refer to the following :

With help from their team mascot and their hairstylist , a former Mi6-agent , the three cheerleaders learn to use their newfound powers while hiding their newfound identities , to become superheroines and defeat the power-hungry mad scientist , and also win the annual cheerleading competition .
A mascot is any person , animal , or object thought to bring luck , or anything used to represent a group with a common public identity , such as a school , professional sports team , society , military unit , or brand name . Mascots are also used as fictional , representative spokespeople for consumer products , such as the rabbit used in advertising and marketing for the General Mills brand of breakfast cereal , Trix . In the world of sports , mascots are also used for merchandising . Team mascots are often related to their respective team nicknames . This is especially true when the team 's nickname is something that is a living animal and/or can be made to have humanlike characteristics . For more abstract nicknames , the team may opt to have an unrelated character serve as the mascot . For example , the athletic teams of the University of Alabama are nicknamed the Crimson Tide , while their mascot is an elephant named Big Al . Team mascots may take the form of a logo , person , live animal , inanimate object , or a costumed character , and often appear at team matches and other related events , sports mascots are often used as marketing tools for their teams to children . Since the mid-20th century , costumed characters have provided teams with an opportunity to choose a fantasy creature as their mascot , as is the case with the Philadelphia Phillies ' mascot , the Phillie Phanatic , and the Philadelphia Flyers ' mascot , Gritty . Costumed mascots are commonplace , and are regularly used as goodwill ambassadors in the community for their team , company , or organization such as the U.S. Forest Service 's Smokey Bear .
The wildcat is a species complex comprising two small wild cat species , the European wildcat ( Felis silvestris ) and the African wildcat ( F. lybica ) . The European wildcat inhabits forests in Europe and the Caucasus , while the African wildcat inhabits semi-arid landscapes and steppes in Africa , the Arabian Peninsula , Central Asia , into western India and western China . The wildcat species differ in fur pattern , tail , and size : the European wildcat has long fur and a bushy tail with a rounded tip ; the smaller African wildcat is more faintly striped , has short sandy-gray fur and a tapering tail ; the Asiatic wildcat ( F. lybica ornata ) is spotted . The wildcat and the other members of the cat family had a common ancestor about 10-15 million years ago . The European wildcat evolved during the Cromerian Stage about 866,000 to 478,000 years ago ; its direct ancestor was Felis lunensis . The silvestris and lybica lineages probably diverged about 173,000 years ago . The wildcat has been categorized as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2002 , since it is widely distributed , and the global population is considered stable and exceeding 20,000 mature individuals . However , in some range countries both wildcat species are considered threatened by introgressive hybridisation with the domestic cat ( F. catus ) and transmission of diseases . Localized threats include being hit by vehicles , and persecution . The association of African wildcats and humans appears to have developed along with the establishment of settlements during the Neolithic Revolution , when rodents in grain stores of early farmers attracted wildcats . This association ultimately led to it being tamed and domesticated : the domestic cat is the direct descendant of the African wildcat . It was one of the revered cats in ancient Egypt .
