New Bolivian cat claws its way into species list: What we meow

A new wildcat species, Leopardus tilcayo, has been identified in Bolivia following the accidental discovery of a lost kitten and nearly ten years of research. This cat, found in the Yungas region, has been named after the local name and is the first new cat species discovered in over 100 years. Researchers are still unsure whether this species is confined to a single area of the forest or more widely distributed.
