Peruvian archeologists uncovered giant cat carved into Nazca Lines UNESCO site of Peru.
Peruvian archaeologists have uncovered a 37-metre-long (120-foot-long) cat drawing in a explored area of the Nazca Lines UNESCO heritage site of Peru.
Peruvian archaeologists said it was estimated to be around 2,000 years old and made up of grooves carved into the mountain coupled with groupings of stones.
The figure, made up of a long body, striped tail and head with distinctive pointed ears, predates some of the area's better known-figures that include a hummingbird, spider and a human.
It is one of a number discovered in recent years by drone exploration of the protected 400-square-kilometre (250-square-mile) region that lies some 450 km south of the capital Lima between the towns of Nazca and Palpa.
