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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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

  • @feralbluee

    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. :) 🌿🐭🐝🦋🦌🐈‍⬛🪶🦢🦫🦡🌷🌱

  • @DowntownsUptown
    @DowntownsUptown Місяць тому

    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. 🐱.

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!
