European wildcat (Felis silvestris) / Chat sauvage d'Europe

michele bavassano "The extremely rare European wildcat. This animal, so akin to our affectionate domestic cousin, inhabits the European forests but remains an enigma to spot. Its rarity makes it one of the most mysterious and challenging felines to glimpse.”

A young Scottish Wildcat at the British Wildlife Centre. It’s still quite slender at this age so hasn’t developed the muscular frame that Scottish Wildcats are known for. Looks like a domestic tabby...

The Wildcat branches out to two different small wild cat species - the European Wildcat and the African Wildcat. The European species has a longer coat, a bushy tail and are a bit bigger than the African ones who sport short coats and a tapering tail. Interestingly, these Wildcats prefer to stay out of the trees, mostly choosing burrows as their dens.
