Context: Marcelo Iván Allende Bravo (born April 7, 1999 in Pudahuel, Santiago) is a Chilean footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Deportes Santa Cruz on loan from Necaxa and the Chilean national U-20 team.  He is currently on trial with Arsenal.  Allende captained Chile at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup scoring two goals, being his team's top goalscorer.  He's considered one of the top prospects in Chilean youth football. A felid hybrid is any of a number of hybrid between various species of the cat family, Felidae.  This article deals with hybrids between the species of the subfamily Felinae (feline hybrids).  For hybrids between two species of the "Panthera" genus (lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards), see Panthera hybrid.  There are no known hybrids between the "Neofelis" (clouded leopard) and other genera.  By contrast, many genera of Felinae are interfertile with each other, though few hybridize under natural conditions, and not all combinations are likely to be viable (e.g. between the tiny rusty-spotted cat and the leopard-sized cougar). The cheetah ("Acinonyx jubatus") is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae that occurs mainly in eastern and southern Africa and a few parts of Iran.  The only extant member of the genus "Acinonyx", the cheetah was first described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775.  The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, a small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and a long spotted tail.  Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar.  The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to at the shoulder, and weighs 21 - .  Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion.  Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots. "For the Chilean footballer with the same name see Juan Carlos González (Chilean footballer)" The cougar ("Puma concolor"), also commonly known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas.  Its range, from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes of South America, is the greatest of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere.  An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most American habitat types.  It is the second-heaviest cat in the New World, after the jaguar.  Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although there are daytime sightings.  The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae, of which only the jaguar is native to the Americas. Francisco Segundo Valdés Muñoz, (19 March 1943 - 10 August 2009), nicknamed Chamaco, was a Chilean footballer and manager.  Recognized as one of Chile's most important midfielders, with 215 official goals, he is the top scorer in the history of Chilean league.  He was also the uncle of Chilean footballer Sebastián "Chamagol" González. Carlos Cruz González, usually known simply as Carlos Cruz (born 1930), is a Spanish comics artist. Humberto Carlos Cruz Silva (] , born 8 December 1939) was a Chilean footballer that played in two FIFA World Cups (1962, Chile third place, and 1966) as centre back, despite of his short height.  He also has been a close friend of Pelé since they played against each other in the 1960s.  According to Pelé, Cruz was one of his best markers and in several interviews he has mentioned the classic moment when Cruz pulled down his pants so he wouldn´t elude him.  He is nicknamed as "Cheetah", because of his speed and agility. Felis lunensis (Martelli's cat) is an extinct felid of the subfamily Felinae.  Around 12 million years ago, the genus "Felis" appeared and eventually gave rise to many of the modern small cats.  "Felis lunensis" was one of the first modern "Felis" species, appearing around 2.5 million years ago in the Pliocene.  Fossil specimens of "F. lunensis" have been recovered in Italy and Hungary.  Fossil evidence suggests the modern European wildcat "Felis silvestris" may have evolved from "F. lunensis" during the Middle Pleistocene.  This has resulted in "F. lunensis" occasionally being considered a subspecies of "Felis silvestris". Felis attica is an extinct felid of the subfamily Felinae.  Around 12 million years ago, the genus "Felis" appeared and eventually gave rise to many of the modern small cats.  "Felis attica" was a small lynx-like cat, and was one of the ancestors of the first modern "Felis" species, such as "F. lunensis" (Martelli's cat), which appeared around 2.5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.  Fossil specimens of "F. attica" have been recovered in western Eurasia.  Fossil evidence suggests that "F. attica" was among the smallest of the Miocene Felinae: about the size of the modern bobcat ("Lynx rufus"), but with a longer profile.  It was made the type species of a separate genus, Pristifelis, by Salesa "et al." (2012).
