An Intermountain Power coal train loads 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 transloading from truck to rail, known as the AES Oil Loading Terminal.
(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.”

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
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.

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
Utah Railway SD40 No. 9008 leads three sisters into the siding at Wildcat to load a coal train on April 2, 1994.
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 ;)

I saw this Scottish Wildcat the British Wildlife Centre in 2023. Sadly, I haven't managed a visit there in 2024 (yet)

The fall colors are just beginning to change here in eastern Iowa as seen on this road in Wildcat Den State Park.
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.

What is this kitten dreaming of? Just like a child it sucks on a twig and dreamily looks up to the sky
Wovon träumt dieses Kätzchen? Wie ein Kind nuckelt es an einem Zweig und blickt verträumt in den Himmel
