Corsican Fox Cat! - Catherine - 12-02-2021
It is actually a cat, but what kind of cat? For years it has been more of a legend. Now they have been trapping, studying and releasing them, they actually have proof the cats exist. Also they have DNA evidence that they are not escaped domestic cats. They are not a form of European wild cat. They are a unique species with links to
African Forest Cats.

They are now working on getting the cats recognized as a separate species.

This is exciting. The cat of legends could declared a new cat species. Not only does it exist, it is a unique unknown species. In a world where species are going extinct and being lost forever, we have found a new species. They are very beautiful and clearly different. Does it make you wonder if other legendary species are real? This planet still holds many secrets.
