The animal in question was presented as “Serpens Catus” and, as its name suggests, it would be a creature that resembles both a snake and a cat. However, the @Kamara2R profile post presents the creature as a feline. More precisely, this would be the rarest feline in the world, with few appearances to people.
In the publication, there is also a photo of what would be Serpens Catus, which has the face and facial features of a common cat. However, it is distinguished by its brighter and hairless skin, with only a kind of leather similar to that of snakes. Another highlight goes to the yellow spots that actually refer to the skin of a snake.
In addition, the publication also says that this would be the first photographic record of the “Serpens Catus” taken in 2020. Finally, he points out that this rare feline lives in the most inhospitable places in the Amazon Rainforest, here in South America. However, there is no specificity about where this animal would have its habitat in the forest.
Is the 'Serpens Catus' real?
You don't need to be an expert in felines, or in photography, to know that this image is nothing more than a montage. In fact, there is no record scientific that proves the existence of this animal, nor any local legend that presents this possibility. Therefore, this term did not even exist before publication.
In fact, there are many places in the Amazon that science has not been able to explore, so it is possible that there are still unknown animals. However, there is not the slightest possibility of a mixture between snake and cat. Furthermore, the Amazon does not harbor cats of this category in its ecosystem.
