Tigrino

The BBC reported on the discovery of a new species of wildcat in the forests of Bolivia, named Tigrino. The small feline had previously been mistaken for a type of tiger cat because of its similar spots and stripes. DNA testing revealed that it belonged to a species previously unknown to science. According to the reports, the cat was brought to an area called Santa Verde around ten years ago by a man who thought it was a kitten, and it was later recognised as not being a domestic cat. Researchers involved in the discovery said it shows that new species can still be found in familiar environments, not just remote locations, and they expressed hope that the finding would draw attention to smaller wildcats that face many of the same threats as larger, more charismatic species.
