Archaeologists have unearthed the fossilized remains of Prionailurus kurteni, an extinct species of leopard cat, at the Hualongdong Cave No. I Homo Site in Anhui Province, China. This diminutive feline, comparable in size to the modern rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) and black-footed cat (Felis nigripes), is among the smallest known members of the Felidae family.
