Cats hid from science for 100 years just to watch us look stupid. Mission accomplished, guys.

New cat species identified in Bolivia for first time in more than a century

Researchers confirmed a new small wildcat species in Bolivia's cloud forests, the first feline species identified anywhere in the world in over a century. The animal, roughly housecat-sized with a distinct skull and coat pattern, had been misidentified for decades until genetic testing separated it from known species. Scientists named it after the region where it was found.
