The
European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is a subspecies of
wildcat that inhabits the forests and grasslands of Europe, as well as Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains; it can be distinguished from the
domestic cat by its bulkier body, thick fur, and non-tapered tail. This cat was photographed in Wisentgehege Springe game park, near
Springe,
Hanover, Germany.Photo:
