If not friend why friend shaped?

sotonosabe :

fun fact: Tilcayo doesn't actually mean anything, someone's grandpa just called it that and they just rolled with it

Vale :

The name comes from the Aymara language, T’ila means small and Kayu means foot/feet. Therefore the name Tilcayo would be Small Foot/Feet. Indigenous people in the region have been calling the species that name for centuries, so it’s cool that scientists decided to keep its original name.

Our Lady of Lavender 🪻 :

A new animal to protect 🥰

Okami 🍉 :

IIRC Tilcayo doesn't mean anything the grandpa (?) of the guy who found the cat called it Tilcayo because in his words "it looked like a Tilcayo"

Nathaniel🇻🇦 :

tilcayo was what the grandpa of the original owner of the cat called it. he said it has no meaning at its just a name

jeeptheecopacetc :

When researchers asked local residents in Bolivia's Yungas cloud forest what Tilcayo meant, people explained that it had no direct definition. As lead researchers noted, locals simply said, "My grandpa called it tilcayo, so I call it tilcayo."

silentandeep :

“Described not discovered” good point

Ray Simmons :

Looked it up. It means tiny leopard cat

Hanah M :

tilcayo doesnt mean anything , they put that name because they though that it sounds good (it sounds good)

☕Starbucks On Crack✨ :

the cat distribution system could give someone a tiger and we'd be chill with that 😭

Lichenthesethings :

Sad thought. This is the only known individual of this species. It’s likely functionally extinct.

zuriconzeta :

Tilcayo doesn't mean anything, it's the name the people that "rescued" it gave it
