Still Waters Posted November 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2013 A new species of wild cat has been identified in South America by using molecular markers, researchers claim. By comparing DNA sequences, the team revealed that two populations of tigrina in Brazil do not interbreed and are evolutionarily distinct. Results also show the two populations have contrasting interactions with the closely related pampas cat and Geoffroy's cat. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/25086721 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drayno Posted December 2, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It's a shame we discovered them. It's only a matter of time before we destroy them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesert50 Posted December 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cats ... such neat little creatures who are willing to associate with us but are ever capable of flipping off humanity and making it on their own despite the odds. And, that perhaps epitomizes a ballsy independence that many of us can only envy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshadow60 Posted December 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I agree with Ginko. I wish the little guys had never been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
