## Resource

A brand-new wild cat species has been officially discovered in Bolivia’s cloud forests — the Tilcayo, the first new feline named in over 100 years. Genetic testing revealed it’s distinct from other tiger cats and part of a larger surprise: what was once thought to be one group is actually five separate species. This small, light-brown cat with unique rosettes lives only in the threatened Yungas region, where deforestation and mining loom large. Only one known individual remains — a rescued ten-year-old male at a Bolivian sanctuary. Scientists are now urging urgent conservation action, as this hidden wonder may already be endangered.
