The Scottish Wildcat on BBC News today.
For those that may be interested, there was quite a long piece on the Scottish Wildcat on the BBC TV News today. I think that I heard correctly when the reporter said that the Scottish Wildcat is ten times more rare than the Bengal tiger. Perhaps some cleaver person could provide a link?
I actually saw one the other night! I was on a very brief visit north taking my grandchildren for a couple of days fishing and when passing Loch Laggan at about midnight there was a Scottish wildcat sat on a post! We managed to do a quick about turn(no traffic at that time of night) and all the grandchildren saw the wildcat from a range of 20 yards. The wonderful beast posed for us, quite unperturbed, for a couple of minutes before we left it to get on with life still sat on the post. We were very privileged to see it.

I heard about the program unfortunately I have not been able to see it being in Canada. I would be interested in seeing it if someone could post a link to the show.

And all survived!
How very interesting and amazing to see such a rare creature...I'd never heard of the specie nor knew it existed.
Mountain lions in Az are not seen regularly but are not rare either. They mostly hunt/kill cow calves on free range.
Interestingly enough the State Game and Fish collared a few (GPS) and found they range over a 100+ mile area....and that included checking out the trash behind the local McDonalds in Wickenburg.
I'm a dog man myself.
