"Discovery of New Prehistoric Cat Species in Spain"
Paleontologists in Spain have discovered a new genus and species of medium-sized feline, Magerifelis peignei, from a partial jaw found in Madrid, dating back 15.5 million years. The well-preserved specimen provides valuable insights into the prehistoric cat's appearance and ecological behavior, suggesting it had a robust build and strong bite force for hunting relatively large prey. This discovery sheds light on the diversity of early felines and has been published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
