Large 2,000-year-old Cat Discovered in Peru's Nazca Lines

The figure of a relaxing cat has been discovered in the Nazca desert in Peru.
The Nazca lines, a Unesco World Heritage site, is home to designs on the ground - known as geoglyphs - created some 2,000 years ago.
Scientists believe the cat, as with other Nazca animal figures, was created by making depressions in the desert floor, leaving coloured earth exposed.
The cat then went unnoticed until plans were recently drawn up for a new path leading to an observation platform.
The platform would have provided a vantage point for visitors to see many of the other geoglyphs.
