Paola Nogales sobre el felino descubierto
A new wild feline species, Leopardus tilcayo, has been identified in Bolivia after a five-year genetic study. The discovery was made through analysis of a small, previously misclassified individual and confirmed by genomic comparisons with other regional felines. The species, native to the Yungas region, is likely arboreal and solitary, with limited knowledge about its behavior and reproduction. Its recognition may lead to increased conservation efforts, especially given its potential categorization as more threatened than previously thought.
