(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!

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!

(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.”

Gestern war ich im Wildpark - immer eine gute Gelegenheit um etwas neues zu probieren. Hier hatte ich viel Glück, dass die Wildkatze recht nah saß und ich ein Bild mit dem Makro machen konnte. Der Hintergrund hatte dazu diese tollen pastellartigen Farben und so entstand letztendlich dieses eher ungewöhnliche Bild.

 

I've been to the wildlife park yesterday. It is always a nice way to try out something new. This wildcat here sat nice and close so I had to use my macro lens. The background had those nice pastel like colors and that is how I was able to get this picture.

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

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 ;)

Jagd auf den Beutesimulator

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).

Not quite spring yet in northern Illinois. A bit of water at Starved Rock State Park.

The desire for freedom and life (Der Wunsch nach Freiheit und Leben)

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.

The female wildcat was posing well on this log!

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.
