South hams hunter 8,938 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 An awesome documentary that really highlights some interesting facts, also goes into detail on what they're doing to help along side game keepers. Not going to lie it really does increase my doubt on the chances of they're being a breeding population of big cats; the struggles to see a cat they know is native, its location and solid evidence of territories. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 29,598 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Nice animal and lovely to see but can't really see any correlation between them and bigger cats being native, had two different Scottish wild cats last year on trail cams , caught them several times but it looks like the same two, possibly have a dash of domestic in them as many do but a nice surprise non the less 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,478 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 They are pretty tough and efficient killing machines, that's nature, they have to be to survive, but I understand they are struggling just the same! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 29,598 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hybridisation with domestics is the biggest threat,two things in there favour is they are easily bred and though they are called Scottish wildcats I think it's a species found across Europe so fresh blood could be found if needed, here,s a real wild one though as said probably not 100 percent pure, but living free in Scotland 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
