The smallest wild cats in the world, including the Sand cat of the Sahara, the Flat-headed cat of Southeast Asia, and the Margay of Central and South America.
Africa's big cats are world-famous - but what about the continent's small cats? Learn all about forgotten felines like the serval and the caracal here.
Lousy shooting conditions: The serval was inside the building, so I had to shoot through the close-meshed fence.
With a relatively short body, small tail and long legs, the Canada lynx is one of the most adorable fluffs. They may look like a cousin of your housecat, but make no mistake — these boreal predators are pretty wild. The Canada lynx lives in forested areas and like making their dens underneath fallen trees, tree stumps, rock ledges or thick bushes. They are territorial animals, and males usually live alone.

We already have IDIOTS wanting to control the numbers of whitetailed eagles just a few years after their re introduction. If we were to cull anything I say we start with idiots !!!! Here I shall take a deep breath to prevent a full scale rant......................... ;o))
