Tour Scotland Video Scottish Wildcat Edinburgh Zoo

Tour Scotland video of a Scottish Wildcat on visit to the zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland. Unique to Britain, these solitary and largely nocturnal cats, are now only found in Scotland, they are a sub species of the European wildcat, felis silvestris silvestris, and although similar to the European the Scottish is slightly larger with a thicker coat, more heavily camouflaged and hunts and lives across a wider range of habitats; it is also infamously known as the only wild animal that can never be tamed by human hand, even when captive reared.
