@camwhitnall: 🐆 THIS HASN’T HAPPENED IN OVER 100 YEARS… A NEW SPECIES OF WILD CAT! Meet the Tilcayo (Leopardus tilcayo). For the first time since 1923, scientists have formally described a new living species of cat. Research led by National Geographic Explorer and Bolivian biologist Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz revealed through genetics that this wasn’t simply another population of a known tiger cat, but a distinct species whose lineage split from other tiger cats around 1.4 million years ago. More than a century without a new living cat species being formally described… and in 2026, we’ve just added another one. 🤯🐆 It makes you wonder what else is still out there. 🌎 Research: Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz and the research team 📸/🎥 Fernando Faciole / @National Geographic 📸 Joel Sartore / National Geographic Photo Ark Story via National Geographic #Tilcayo #LeopardusTilcayo #WildCats #NewSpecies #Wildlife
