Meet the latest member of the cat family—proposed name Leopardus tilcayo, a feline smaller than an average housecat, covered in leopard-like spots, and native to Bolivia's Yungas forest ecoregion. What began as a call from a wildlife sanctuary about a "weird cat" led to years of study and the eventual identification of the first new cat species in over a century. Now, scientists hope the methods that led to the discovery could help find more new cat species around the world.
