This article delves deep into the various names associated with the African wild cat names, exploring their meanings, origins, and cultural significance.
Although this "kitten" looks like a domesticated cat, it is in actual fact an African Wild Cat. Look at the distinctive red ears. The colour is sandy or light grey in the western areas, ranging to a darker grey elsewhere. The body markings are reddish to grey-black, and sometimes include a slightly darker spinal stripe. There are always six vertical dark bands on the flanks, as well as horizontal dark bands on the legs and rings on the tail, which has a black tip.

This African Wild Cat (Felis silvestris) was photographed in the wild in the Kgalagadi. The African wild cat is one of five subspecies of Felis silvestris, which is a species with a wide distribution through Africa, Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The species also includes the Domestic cat, which genetic evidence suggests was domesticated in the Middle East. African wild cat and domestic cats often interbreed in the proximity of human habitations and this is one of the main threats to the survival of the wild subspecies in its pure form. Wild cats are nocturnal and prey on rodents, birds, reptiles and invertebrates. The female holds a territory and does not get any help from males in rearing her litter. It is very similar in appearance to a domestic cat. The most distinguishable characteristic is the rich reddish-brown colour of the backs of the large ears, over the belly and on the back legs. The body is marked with vertical stripes but these can vary from faint to quite distinct. The tail is ringed with black and has a black tip. The chin and throat are white and the chest is usually paler than the rest of the body. The legs are proportionately longer than those of the domestic cat. The feet are jet black underneath. The skull is small, with a short muzzle this is a result of the reduction in the nasal cavity and the jaw length. The skull is broad and highly arched and relatively lightly built. The cheek bones (zygoma) are bowed from the sides of the skull and are thick and strongly built providing substantial attachments for the masseter and temporalis muscles that are important during killing and eating. The jaws only move vertically for cutting and gripping. The powerful masseter muscle is responsible for the vice-like killing grip. Source: Biodiversity
