This will be the last post from Wildcat, at least for a while..:)...so, maybe I will post something other than a waterfall tomorrow! I am off to work, I'll check everyones latest uploads when I get home tonight!
Scotland's wildcats are a unique and highly threatened sub-population of the European wildcat, Felis silvestris silvestris
Although they may look similar to domestic (pet) cats, they do have some unique features, including their blunt and bushy tails and their genetic make-up! It can be very difficult to tell the difference between a wildcat, a domestic tabby, or a hybrid from looks alone
Thanks to their un-broken striped coats, wildcats have earned the nickname 'Highland tigers'
As meat-eaters, they spend long hours sleeping and digesting their food during the day, and are most active around dawn and dusk

For you knowledge: This is a non-wild Wildcat.
This picture is no wildlife.
It was taken in the animal / wild park Bad Mergentheim. www.wildtierpark.de
Of course this is no real hunt - it is a simulator only that the wildcat has to get its bag.
Most of you know that I'm not taking wildlife pictures in Europe, only zoo and parks but better saying to avoid misunderstanding.
If there is anyone out there who catched this in wildlife - let me know ;)
This wildcat kitten really keeps an eye on my big 'eye' (my camera).
Die junge Wildkatze beobachtet mich genau, vor allem mein ganz grosses Auge (die Kamera).
This is the lowest waterfall on Wildcat Branch in the Wildcat Wayside Park the Mountain Bridge Wilderness in Cleveland, South Carolina, which sits literally right at the roadside of Highways 11/276 near the entrance to Jones Gap Park. During the warmer summer you'll find many cars parked in the pull-off and the shallow pool will be filled with children sitting in the falls and frolicking in the water. As I've passed by over the past few years, an ice cream vendor was also parked in the pull-off selling ice cream to the children and families. The flow here is not that substantial, but it is still a photogenic and enjoyable place for families to visit. It was planned in the early 1930's and was originally known as the Greenville Wayside Park until it was incorporated into the Mountain Bridge Wilderness and renamed after the branch flowing through the park. There is a well-maintained and popular loop trail that passes four waterfalls here. On my way to Big Fall Creek Falls, I decided to stop, make a few photos and hike the loop trail and here is the first.
Named "Callie" by the Saving Wildcats project, she is one of many Scottish Wildcats bred and released into the Cairngorms National Park.
She was initially tracked and has had successful litters since her release. She now frequents the Glenmore area, including the Reindeer Centre where she hunts the ducks that steal the reindeer feed - which is where I saw her.
It really was quite something to witness this up close and such a great project restoring the presence of these cats in the Scottish Highlands.

An Intermountain Power coal train is loading at the Andelex Rosources, Inc. facility on the Utah Railway at Wildcat, Utah (west of Helper) on Sept. 18, 2009. By 2013, Wildcat was expanded to include crude oil trans loading from truck to rail, known as the AES Oil Loading Terminal.
Wildcat Creek Bridge was built in 1925 at Austa, near Walton, near OR 126. The 75-foot bridge carries Austa Road over Wildcat Creek near its confluence with the Siuslaw River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
