Hi All
We are very excited to share this brand new wildcat footage from the Clashindarroch. As usual you can see the unmistakeable thick ringed tail and clear dorsal stripe. We often only get fleeting glimpses so it is really great to get some really interesting behaviour The cat is rubbing it’s whole body in the mackerel fillet oil we left there as bait. It seems to be thoroughly enjoying itself. Presumably as other cat species do, it is doing to this to mask it’s own scent when hunting.
Here is the link:
So little is known about these cats but it warms our hearts to see such a beautiful animal exhibiting behaviours in it’s natural habitat where it rightfully belongs. The Clashindarroch forest and it’s wildcats are utterly priceless and we will do everything we can to protect them from the logging by the government, planned windfarm development and capture for zoos.
Every time we get new footage it gives us great motivation to save what is the rarest feline in the world.
