A brand new wild cat species has been discovered in the Andes, and it’s the first time in 80 years that a new cat has been found in the Americas! The Andean mountain cat (Leopardus andinus) has a silvery coat, wild markings, and lives way up in the mountains where barely anyone goes. Locals have known about it for ages, but science just caught up. With fewer than 2,500 left, it’s already endangered—how wild is that? #Science #AndesDiscovery #WildlifeNews
