Taxonomy of the Scottish Wildcat
I am always interested in the subject of how domesticated animals are related to their wild cousins. Also, I want me one of them wildcats. I've never been much of a cat person but these are some bad-ass cats.
It will be seen that domestic cats (originally Felis catus), European wildcats (originally Felis silvestris) and African wildcats (originally Felis lybica) are now considered to be members of the same species, Felis silvestris.
