Feral cats get eaten by coyotes

>>79263234
I seen one when I was young in "Winter Class" when I was in the Alps with my elementary school class, it was something like 10 years old before.
we were visiting a farm with cows, and on a window there was one Wild Cat in the shadow, he was very intimidating and he scream, that was creepy as fucks, I never seen any cat screaming like that, very very agressive, but he did nothing to us.
that's a cool memory.

Lynxes aren't the same as wildcats...
That would be like saying tigers or lions are wildcats. But you do have wildcats though. Pic related

>>79264324
Because the European one probably can't be domesticated, too wild and rude.
but I think domesticated cats imported from africa and middle east eventually race-mixes with some european variety, to get the colors of the "Celtic shorthair" breed or some shit like that.
The same happened with domestic dogs, they actually descend from some POO-IN-LOO variety of Wolves, more small, weak and submissives to humans than the european ones who can't be domesticated like dogs.

Don't judge the video by its thumbnail.... I've deliberately picked the timestamps of the documentary where they are talking about wild cats...

both are endangered and hard to see in the wild

The specie named "Felis Silvestris"
but people here are posting species unrelated, the same kind of people who thinks there are "flying dinosaurs" "marine dinosaurs" not knowing a shit about what the fuck they are talking about like dirty proletarians.

>>79264851
>Felis Silvestris
According to Wikipedia there have been 5 reports of wild cats in the Netherlands between 1999-2014.
And both in 2015 and 2016 one was filmed.

Before 1999 there were no sightings for centuries.

>>79264848
In the USSR there were even more cats.

>Do they exist in your country?
Bobcats,Mountain Lions,lynxes, ocelots in some regions and Feral housecats.
>How rare?
I have never seen any except the ferals in the wild.
>How do they behave?
Mountain lions may attack if you are alone or a child, bobcats, lynxes,ocelots and ferals are likely to just run and hide from you.
>Have you seen one
I see ferals all the time, I've never seen a lynx or a ocelot outside of a zoo, My mom used to keep a hurt bobcat cub she found in our garage before eventually giving it to animal control, I have a friend who's family had a pet mountain lion, there was even somebody on /k/ that knew them as well.
