🐈Chinese mountain cat
El gato chino del desierto, gato montés chino o gato de Biet (Felis bieti) es una especie de mamífero carnívoro de la familia Felidae. Es un pequeño felino que vive en el oeste de China, concretamente en el Tíbet, Qinghai, Gansu y Sichuan. Aunque anteriormente era considerado una subespecie del gato montes euroasiatico, un estudio en 2017 demostró que es morfológicamente distinto de Felis silvestris, por lo que se le considera una especie distinta. Debido a lo remoto de su área de distribución, esta es la menos conocida entre las subespecies del gato montés euroasiático.
