This fascinating book on the wildcat by Dr Clegg reveals: - its inbuilt survival instinct and adaptability - unusual sightings such as wildcats swimming from island to island - a history of the wildcat from prehistoric to the present day - wildcats and the Scottish clans - natural history including breeding and territory - wildcats as medieval vermin or for skins - dens and territorial ranges - in captivity, in literature and folklore - tracking wildcats using trail cameras - latest initiatives to save the wildcat AUTHOR: Dr Christopher Clegg is a biological research scientist with over 30 published articles to his name. He lived in Scotland for several years and returns there frequently, to walk over hundreds of Scottish mountain peaks and numerous remote trails, with occasional encounters with local wildlife. He saw his first wildcat in the late 1990s. He has a lifelong interest in natural history and in recent years has captured many species on video including footage of the Scottish wildcat, using trail cameras. colour and b/w illustrations
