Переглядів 155 тис.3 місяці тому
Narrated by Iain Glen, this independent natural history documentary investigates the Scottish Wildcat, their endangered status and the conservation efforts being undertaken to prevent their extinction. Scottish Wildcats are affectionately known as Highland Tigers. The name originates from their striped fur and that they’re not only one of Britain’s largest predators, but the UK’s only ‘big cat’...

Subtitles are approximate. I accept no responsibility for border disputes. This mural took 10 months (on and off) to complete. I would have liked to add more shading to the sea but I ran out of time. The painting measures 3.33x2.44m (11' x 8') for a total area of over 8 square metres (88 square feet) and is almost exactly 1:12,000,000 scale. Miraculously, the wall was exactly the right aspect r...

Astrophotography with the Canon 200mm f/1.8
Переглядів 2,6 тис.4 роки тому
The Canon EF 200mm f/1.8 is the fastest 200mm ever made and the longest sub-f/2 lens commercially available. It pairs wonderfully with the Canon C500mkII so I took it out to test the low light capabilities of both. Please consider supporting my biggest filmmaking adventure here www.patreon.com/CastleCrozier

I've begun a series of videos about 'legendary lenses' - unique, rare or otherwise iconic optics. They're not reviews, but discussions between myself and other lens geeks and gurus - think of them as a talk show about lenses! This is the first episode - naturally it had to be about the ultimate vintage lens, the Helios 44-2. I was fortunate to be joined by Alan Besedin of Vintage Lenses For Vid...
Cool work, waiting for the next !
We all carry neanderthal genes". ?? Not me. 😊
Whit's aw this then, Jimmy? They are magnificent.
Australia has a huge problem with wild cats and obviously Scotland will suffer the same consequences. Irony being the RSPB complain of the number of song birds killed by domestic cats.
Is that you, Ser Jorah? 🤣🤣
Pay the farmers for losses due to Lynxs?
"Tell Dildrum that Doldrum is dead," is a simply a folk retelling of a work of fiction, "Beware the Cat" written by William Baldwin in the 16th century. You can find the text free online.
So an alley cat in the forest? Cool
Look how wide its face is, beautiful creature!❤
Seen one in a zoo. Looks almost identical to a domestic tabby cat.
What an excellent documentary!!!
If you lose a species, others numbers are not kept in check. Then you have numbers out of control.
This video was suggested to me and then I remembered that I met someone last week on the West Highland Way trail and got chattin, they mentioned they'd done this trek and that their pal had vlogged it and I thought to myself 'how weird would it be if it was this video'...and it is!! Hiya Sam! I met you and your pal with blisters in sunny Inversnaid! What are the chances 😂 Hope you guys made it to the Clachaig again and eventually Fort William 💙🏴🥾
dont agree wiyh releasing feral domestic cats , far too many feral and household cats out there and wild birds are suffering big time , people wont put bell collars on there cats either , this woman is not helping the wild animal population simple ask most wildlife people and they will agree with me
Domestic cats are nowhere near "pea-brained". If youre going to say disrespectful crap, maybe keep your scrawny ass off of animal documentaries.
In Sweden we've always had lynx. I don't see why people are hesitant about reintroducing them in the UK? Hardly anyone speaks about lynx being problematic to domesticated animals here. Wolves on the other hand are more prolific in their killing of domestic animals though. Some people want to kill all the wolves, which begs the question of why we think we have the right to kill anything that gets in our way? Surely we can sacrifice a few sheep to restore natural order of prey and predator? Populations of deer and other prey animals are out of control due to the lack of predators!
Beautiful cat❤❤❤❤
Nadherna kraska nenechte vymrit neco tak uzasneho co dela skotsko vyjimecnym dekuji
I think it would be safe to say that doctors were some of the villainess characters all throughout history...but now, they're trusted so blindly! Lol I can't wait to see what future historians say about them from this era...who know with technology it could turn out that ours are the worst 😂
So are these a relative of Pallas Cats or maybe even the American Bobcat ?

Beautiful!!
The 5 sister zoo is introducing Scottish wildcats and also Lynx's . But game wardens will always poison and trap them for posh pricks to hunt grouse and have a few whiskeys then drive the car afterwards. Or they will cash in on it and idiots will hunt them instead . They even shoot birds of prey as it cuts into their profits . Same thing in africa elephants are almost gone but twats will shoot em and also lions etc . Next to none left in the wild at all but they get hunted anyway . I wouldnt shoot anything i wouldnt eat . Cows lambs pigs rabbit , pidgeon . Things like owls and buzzards and kestrals etc no point in blasting them if you wont eat it .
There is also the Caracal Lynx which is found in Africa and parts of Asia ...
strathaven is pronounced straeven, some of the words are prnounced differently to how they are written. this cat is so similar to domestics it's amazing
This is the Scottish trying their best to hype their country & its wildlife up. It’s a tabby cat & that’s why nobody cares less
And here I thought the Scottish wildcat was from the imagination of Marion Chesney Beaton 😊 What a delightful, beautifully produced, informative, and wonderfully narrated documentary! I visited Scotland several times in my life. The Highlands are what I most remember, and would love again to see, smell, and hear. Thank you so much!
Less than 200 Florida panthers left.
Just ask the professional.
Scotland is beautiful!
There's an easy way to tell the difference between Domestic and Wild cats. Wild Cats prefer Fancy Feast whereas Domestic cats prefer Whiskas. Ofc, both hate Friskies.
It was shut! That'll be right! Typical.
We have that lynx cat in Sweden. I used to have a cat that lived in the forest for many i years and took wild rabbits and other prays. He was huge comparing to ordinary cats
Im so excited. im an absolute sucker for polar expedition stuff.
Kitty
lol WE GOT ONE... follows and fils for ages.... OH its Karens cat from number 12
Time to rewild the European Lynx too!
Fabulous. These lovely cats seem like USA's Maine Coon, although Maine Coon are very large.
Very interesting documentary I’m very certain me and my mother came across baby wildcats when we were on our way home she slammed on the breaks because 3/4 baby cats fitting the description of wildcats spilled out onto the road playing and when they seen the car they darted back into the thick forest and since my mum is a crazy cat women she told me to get out and make sure if they were okay so I got out and tried to call them over like I would normally with my cats at home but all I could hear was tiny rustlings in the bush and forest (it was late night so I couldn’t see anything)but I still remember that moment they were extremely cute and had the same markings and body as wildcats do so I’m pretty sure we did see them but I’ve held that memory for a couple years now I never knew how rare they were but it makes it all the more important to me that I had this experience
Keep teaching, people. You’re doing a hreat job!!The Earth cannot stay green and flourish without its wildlife. This program for the Wild Cat is fantastic. The more people know about this incredible cat (and Eagles, beavers, etc.) , the better conservation will be. Much, much good luck. A country ( ours anyway, america) identifies so much with its wildlife. But we have work to keep the awareness up, too. Telling the stories and legends to lids in school about the cat (and other animals), i think, would go along way. I’m sure Brits identify with the tribes, and there are many, who came and settled in Britain, and linking these tales of animals with the various settlers would go a long way. After all, you do have fantastic myths and legends about the spirits who live in Scotland alteat. :) 🌿🐭🐝🦋🦌🐈⬛🪶🦢🦫🦡🌷🌱
I must learn to be more patient! I am soooo glad they are handling the feral cats in said manner!
Why don’t they catch the feral, domestics, clip the “mating options”, give them their shots and set them free again with a little collar or clip to make them recognizable. It’s done here in the states. If the females or the males give any hint of adaptability, they’re given time in a friendly environment. If it’s clearly not an option, they are brought back to where they came from. Safe to catch mice! The kittens are obviously not an issue. Their reproductive capacity is removed, they are healthy all the way around, and they become pets. Obrr time it makes a significany difference. 🐱.
Short attention span 😄!
The narrator sounds like Jorah Mormont from Game of Thrones.
Wow very clever. I was mesmerised
Way too many dudes, not enough cats
Mad respect! What a job! 💯👍
I am a ginger with some Scottish heritage. One of my favourite utube channels is about a cat in Dundee. I love cats, the domestic and wild. Scotland is extremely beautiful and the people seem friendly and welcoming. However cat murder is not cool and never ok in any country, including my own. Nice that Iain Glen is the narrator! Be proud of your wild kitties Scotland, they are beautiful and unique!♥️🐈♥️ 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦🕊
I guess if I’m going to be attacked by a tiger, I’ll choose one from Scotland if I can. Even so, I won’t eat anything that’s been in a sheep’s bladder.
