Wild cats. And Lynx. Don’t get on. And lynx bob cats etc will displace wildcats. Ok. I’m talking Scotland. There are no BOB CATS - LYNX .. if you introduced them Scottish wild cats would be finished ok. No joke
Australia has a huge problem with wild cats and obviously Scotland will suffer the same consequences. Irony being the RSPB complain of the number of song birds killed by domestic cats.
"Tell Dildrum that Doldrum is dead," is a simply a folk retelling of a work of fiction, "Beware the Cat" written by William Baldwin in the 16th century. You can find the text free online.
This video was suggested to me and then I remembered that I met someone last week on the West Highland Way trail and got chattin, they mentioned they'd done this trek and that their pal had vlogged it and I thought to myself 'how weird would it be if it was this video'...and it is!! Hiya Sam! I met you and your pal with blisters in sunny Inversnaid! What are the chances 😂 Hope you guys made it to the Clachaig again and eventually Fort William 💙🏴🥾
dont agree wiyh releasing feral domestic cats , far too many feral and household cats out there and wild birds are suffering big time , people wont put bell collars on there cats either , this woman is not helping the wild animal population simple ask most wildlife people and they will agree with me
In Sweden we've always had lynx. I don't see why people are hesitant about reintroducing them in the UK? Hardly anyone speaks about lynx being problematic to domesticated animals here. Wolves on the other hand are more prolific in their killing of domestic animals though. Some people want to kill all the wolves, which begs the question of why we think we have the right to kill anything that gets in our way? Surely we can sacrifice a few sheep to restore natural order of prey and predator? Populations of deer and other prey animals are out of control due to the lack of predators!
I think it would be safe to say that doctors were some of the villainess characters all throughout history...but now, they're trusted so blindly! Lol I can't wait to see what future historians say about them from this era...who know with technology it could turn out that ours are the worst 😂
The 5 sister zoo is introducing Scottish wildcats and also Lynx's . But game wardens will always poison and trap them for posh pricks to hunt grouse and have a few whiskeys then drive the car afterwards. Or they will cash in on it and idiots will hunt them instead . They even shoot birds of prey as it cuts into their profits . Same thing in africa elephants are almost gone but twats will shoot em and also lions etc . Next to none left in the wild at all but they get hunted anyway . I wouldnt shoot anything i wouldnt eat . Cows lambs pigs rabbit , pidgeon . Things like owls and buzzards and kestrals etc no point in blasting them if you wont eat it .
strathaven is pronounced straeven, some of the words are prnounced differently to how they are written. this cat is so similar to domestics it's amazing
And here I thought the Scottish wildcat was from the imagination of Marion Chesney Beaton 😊 What a delightful, beautifully produced, informative, and wonderfully narrated documentary! I visited Scotland several times in my life. The Highlands are what I most remember, and would love again to see, smell, and hear. Thank you so much!
There's an easy way to tell the difference between Domestic and Wild cats. Wild Cats prefer Fancy Feast whereas Domestic cats prefer Whiskas. Ofc, both hate Friskies.
We have that lynx cat in Sweden. I used to have a cat that lived in the forest for many i years and took wild rabbits and other prays. He was huge comparing to ordinary cats
Very interesting documentary I’m very certain me and my mother came across baby wildcats when we were on our way home she slammed on the breaks because 3/4 baby cats fitting the description of wildcats spilled out onto the road playing and when they seen the car they darted back into the thick forest and since my mum is a crazy cat women she told me to get out and make sure if they were okay so I got out and tried to call them over like I would normally with my cats at home but all I could hear was tiny rustlings in the bush and forest (it was late night so I couldn’t see anything)but I still remember that moment they were extremely cute and had the same markings and body as wildcats do so I’m pretty sure we did see them but I’ve held that memory for a couple years now I never knew how rare they were but it makes it all the more important to me that I had this experience
Keep teaching, people. You’re doing a hreat job!!The Earth cannot stay green and flourish without its wildlife. This program for the Wild Cat is fantastic. The more people know about this incredible cat (and Eagles, beavers, etc.) , the better conservation will be. Much, much good luck. A country ( ours anyway, america) identifies so much with its wildlife. But we have work to keep the awareness up, too. Telling the stories and legends to lids in school about the cat (and other animals), i think, would go along way. I’m sure Brits identify with the tribes, and there are many, who came and settled in Britain, and linking these tales of animals with the various settlers would go a long way. After all, you do have fantastic myths and legends about the spirits who live in Scotland alteat. :) 🌿🐭🐝🦋🦌🐈⬛🪶🦢🦫🦡🌷🌱
Why don’t they catch the feral, domestics, clip the “mating options”, give them their shots and set them free again with a little collar or clip to make them recognizable. It’s done here in the states. If the females or the males give any hint of adaptability, they’re given time in a friendly environment. If it’s clearly not an option, they are brought back to where they came from. Safe to catch mice! The kittens are obviously not an issue. Their reproductive capacity is removed, they are healthy all the way around, and they become pets. Obrr time it makes a significany difference. 🐱.
