A new cat species discovered in Bolivia in September 2026, the first in over a century, is known locally as what?

Explanation: Researchers identified a new cat species in Bolivia known locally as the Tilcayo, the first newly identified cat species discovered in over a century. It belongs to a group known as tiger cats, found across much of South America, which includes several closely related small wildcat species distinguished through genetic and morphological analysis. New mammal species discoveries are increasingly rare and typically attract wide scientific and public attention when confirmed.
