Scottish Wild Cats

When looking at a Scottish Wild Cat you could be forgiven for thinking you're just looking at an ordinary domestic tabby, or at at the very least a feral cat. They are very similar, but the wild cat's stripes tend to be more defined. The tail is bushier and blunt-ended with black rings. Wild Cats cannot be tamed. To see these beautiful endangered species I recommend the british wildlife centre on the A22 near East Grinstead.

These pictures are of this year's kittens. While they may look cute, trying to cuddle one would not be a good idea.

Their numbers in the wild are estimated at between 400 and 4,000. whichever is closest, their future looks bleak.
