Rare Scottish wildcat kitten / Chester Zoo

Amazing video footage has captured a rare Scottish wildcat kitten, bred at Chester Zoo, emerging from its den for the first time since birth.

It’s believed that there could be fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild making the Scottish wildcat, also affectionately known as the Highland tiger, one of the most endangered populations of cats in the world.

Chester Zoo are working with Scottish Wildcat Action on a co-ordinated action plan to help save the highly threatened animals — via Youtube
