In a remarkable discovery that has captivated the scientific community, researchers have confirmed the identification of a previously unknown wild cat species in the remote highlands of the Andes Mountains. This groundbreaking finding represents the first new cat species identified in the Americas in over 80 years. The newly classified feline, provisionally named the “Andean mountain cat” (scientific name: Leopardus andinus), was documented after years of local reports, camera trap evidence, and finally genetic confirmation that established it as distinct from other known South American wild cats.[1]
