New wild cat species discovered - with only one known living member

"It's an amazing result that we have a new species for the world, which is the Leopardus tilcayo."

— Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz , Academic

"These are animals similar in size to a domestic cat, so you might think we would know them all by now, but this discovery shows how much biodiversity is still to be uncovered in some of the less-studied regions of the world."

— Dr Caroline Sartor , Academic

"There's so few records or pictures, no individual in a museum, so it was hiding because nobody was looking."

— Eduardo Eizirik , Academic
