The giant cat was uncovered on a hillside in southern Peru ( AP )
An ancient etching of a giant cat has been discovered in the Peruvian desert.
The 2,000-year-old discovery was made among the Nazca Lines – a Unesco World Heritage site – which are made up of hundreds of geometric images.
The images, known as geoglyphs consist of around 300 figures, including creatures and plants, that were scratched into the desert sands.
The 120ft-long feline had remained untouched for two millennia on a hill beside the Pan-American Highway stretching from Alaska to Argentina, the i reported.
The cat was uncovered during construction work to improve access to a viewing platform, archeologist Jhonny Isla told reporters.
