Found in 2016. It looks a lot like other similar species and they had to do DNA tests to confirm that it's not them. |

No, it's not an AI hoax. The article in the OP links to the research paper about it: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(26)01110-3 Cell is a highly reputable peer-reviewed journal. It's been unknown to science because it was in a remote, mountainous area of Bolivia and looked very similar to other small cat species in the area. |
