(Felis silvestris silvestris) This might look like a cute kitten but actually it's a Scottish Wildcat. He will grow up to be a formidable hunter with a set of teeth to match!

(Felis silvestris silvestris) A very cute wildcat - not a domestic cat! Taken at a secret location in Devon back in June.
Wildcats are clinging on by a claw and Scotland is their last refuge from extinction in Britain. Thankfully, over 30 zoos, wildlife parks and private collections have come together as members of a breeding programme to help ensure their survival.
The Royal Zoological Society for Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity and lead partner for the Saving Wildcats project, has been managing the UK captive population since 2015 to make sure those wildcats can support the restoration of the species in Britain. In 2020, RZSS celebrated a record breeding year after 57 wildcat kittens were born within the UK conservation breeding programme.
“Wildcats are one of Britain’s rarest and most endangered mammals, which means every kitten is a potential lifeline. Over the last few years, the members of the wildcat breeding programme have demonstrated the immense value in working together to secure a future for this iconic species.”

Back in the late 1950's and early '60's, orchid breeders were fascinated by the complex Oncidae
alliances that they could create. Many were crosses of warm and cool growing varieties in the hope that they could be induced to grow in a broader range of conditions.
One such inter generic cross was the merging of Oncidium, Miltonopsis, and Odontoglossum. The cross was named Colmanara after the famous English breeder, Sir Jeremiah Coleman.
In 1992, Rod McLellan registered his cross of Ons. Rustic Bridge X Onc. Crownborough and named it Colm. Wildcat.
Like most other Colmanara's, Wildcat is a cool to intermediate grower. Wintertime lows can
comfortably reach 55-60 degrees. Summer daytime highs should be kept below 80-85 degrees F. These conditions can be met even in West Central Florida if you grow them in bright shade and high humidity with good air movement.
Wildcat is a complex cross, made up of seven or eight species. Colors of the parents cover the
spectrum from crisp clear yellows, browns, mahogany, and ranging through heavy waxy maroons and reds. -Wikipedia

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 ;)
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.

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.
I spent a wonderful day at the British Wildlife Centre on one of their photo days. Great company and lots of great subjects but these wildcats and their kittens were my favourite of the day!
The most endearing, gentle, sweet, shy and loving little cold blooded killer I ever met!
