tilcayo is the native name not the name the mfs that put him in a cage and doing tests on him gave him😹 the point is the discovery of the species, not the specific name of a specific one

This story started with a guy finding a kitten on a road in Bolivia and taking it home because he thought it was a house cat. About a year later he realized this was definitely a wild animal and turned it over to a sanctuary. That cat is now known as Leopardus tilcayo. It weighs only about 3 pounds, smaller than the average house cat, and genetic testing showed it comes from a line that split from its closest relatives around 1.4 million years ago. Scientists had been looking at these little spotted cats for years without realizing they were dealing with a completely different species.
