@@larvitardratini5965 I'm not arguing against that bud, so you can sit back and chill for a second. I'm saying that they ALSO get their water from the blood of their prey. I can't believe you got offended by that.
There is a lot of misconception regarding the collar with the antenna. It is not to track the cat but instead to enable the cat to listen to its favourite radio channel, the BBC's World Service. Does it need to be this big to pick up the signal? Well no but the cat also likes to listen in on NASA conversations with the Space Station. A cat's got to have some entertainment you know. It was either this or a satellite dish on her back.
lmfao..your so hilarious. Does anyone remember the episode of Gilligans Island when Gilligan was picking up radio air waves from his mouth...lololol These kittens are so cute. Wish I could have one. 😸
Are you prepared for "love bites"? 🤣😂 Better interpretation would "amputation of digits". What was it Forest Gumps mother always said? Oh yeah, "Stupid is as stupid does.". Good luck in life there buddy!
I use to pet any cat and my friends would call me a cat whisperer till one day I got bit twice in the same day by the same cat losing almost half an oz of blood. A cat bite in a cats perspective is always justifiable though I just wanted to show love. Now I’m more cautious with all cats and I hate it.
@morton christie It's the domestic tabbys wild ancestor. My friend had a tabby, most playful hyperactive cat ever. Forever chasing balls of foil or wrestling your hand though she never bit or scratched too hard, only left little white marks on your hands. Nicknamed the kangaroo kitty because she was so bouncy she would jump really high and catch the ball of foil if you threw it or bat it away and run after it, pounce on it then roll over and flick it back up then jump up and bat it away again. She would follow us down the street to the shops or friends houses too.
@@Rick-S-6063 yeah I was just thinking how cute they are. I just found out about the black footed cat last year. They look so much like house cats besides their patterns. Do you think they would kill a house cat if they saw one?
Purrfectly beautiful and adorable, but only in their environment and hopefully they will be protected so as not to lose another mesmerizing natural creation to human greed. If you have room for a cat in your home, adopt, sponsor or offer to Foster a most adorable and thankful endangered kitty from the shelter.
They must surely be the cutest cats in Africa! Lovely little documentary. I thought I had seen every cat, wildcat and big cat documentary there ever was but this was a new one for me, so thank you!
excellent documentary :) i’ve done a lot of research and this is the first i’ve heard of these little spotted cats. i love the narrator’s voice and accent. :) keep safe 🌷✨🌿🌸🌱🌼🌷🐈🐆
Its so interesting how Jahna and black-footed cats have figured out how to adapt so well to their area. They seem to have fewer predators and their families seem to survive to adulthood better than other cats. Lionesses often have to worry about hyenas, rival males or even their own family members at times killing their young, as well as cheetahs who have a harder time hiding their young, while having very few defenses to protect them. Meanwhile a lion’s hunting success rate is like 16%, while the black footed cat’s is about 60%
Hello my first time on your channel. I never heard of these little kitties. They are like miniature leapords. Well at least they have a small bit of defense. Im in awe. Very gorgeous. And this antenna doesn't bother her???. Well i learned something new today. Thank you for footage.✌
Larvitar Dratini the last known cat species to go extinct was the saber tooth and it was over 10 thousand years ago while cats are known to outcompete dogs in terms of hunting for food and are responsible for dozens or even more dog species going extinct because of them so far as of today there hasn’t been any big cat species going extinct unlike some dogs so I’m pretty sure that most cats are able to do fine without us breeding them
What's the best way to spread awareness? People have always been fascinated with members of the cat family. I remember seeing one of these guys all balled up in a zoo habitat peeking out at all of the people staring at it. Looked terrified and that was kind of sad but it was amazing to see the little guy. People will always want to know more about cat species and see them in zoos or in the wild, (from a safe distance of course.). If everyone assumes that it's someone else's responsibility, that one particular cat doesn't make a difference or one small donation of a dollar then there will be none left. What can we do?
These small cats are so Impressive. Find the pallas cat,the sand cat and the fishing cat now the black footed cat are my favorite wild cats. The domesticated cat ancestors. My cat acts very wild and this behavior is familiar in this video.
Susan Wilson there was an explanation about the radio collar for telemetry and tracking, otherwise you wouldn't have watched this and commented about your "concern". Appreciate the things others do for other people and not focus on the asinine in the guise of whatever that is. Did I offend you? I probably did but try to look at it that way, how 'bout that? No wish to beef, tbh.
one time when i was little this cat i had brought me the biggest grasshopper ive ever seen even to this day i mean bigger than my hand that was a black persian we had lol huge grasshopper my goodness.
@draqon ofwhitestars I thought the same thing! After some research I found that these tags are put on these cats because their populations are incredibly low due to human interaction. Scientists need to track the cats to make sure the populations are thriving and to keep watch to make sure nothing happens to them. Even though the tag sucks, it's important for the lil dudes survival.
My friend had a pet black-footed cat as a pet. It just moved in with him one day, in typica cat fashion. aA bit suspicious of strangers, but otherwise a normal moggy.
