Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based on domestic {{wp|cat}}s. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] resembled a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}, featuring a large head and small body. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms. Mew is believed by scientists to be the {{wp|last universal common ancestor}} of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. | |||
