The Scottish Natural Heritage has started a survey to see how many wildcats are left in the wild. The last survey occurred twenty years ago, but in a 1995 study it was believed that there were 3500 of these mammals in the wild.
Scots are being urged to go out into Scotland's countryside and try to spot them. You can see a photo of one above. You can find out more about it here.
Don't expect to see them in England and Wales, however, as they died out over a hundred years ago there.
I hope the survey results are positive. I really don't want the wildcat to become extinct in the wild.
Please comment. Thank you.
