Officials have dated the design to between 200BC and 100BC

An ancient design showing what appears to be a 120-foot cat has been discovered in Peru’s Nazca Desert – after laying undiscovered for more than 2,000 years.

It shows a basic etching of a feline figure, with triangular ears and odd markings on its tail, mounted on a hill beside the Pan-American Highway. ‘In the last few years the use of drones, which enable us to take images of the sides of hills, makes that possible.’ – and say it was ‘hardly visible’ when first noticed.

‘Over the past week cleaning and conservation work has taken place which has led to the emergence of the figure of a feline with its body side-on and its head facing forwards.
