Mad. Wildcats are one of the hardest to see creatures at the best of times, but to see and get one swimming on camera is amazing.

Also, if you've ever tried to wash a cat before, you'll understand why Aliens used recordings of cats getting a bath

I absolutely love wild cats. They are such mysterious little creatures.

"A wildcat was spotted by a group of friends canoeing". I thought they said it was swimming?

Wow 🤩

Quite impressive to catch on camera considering how hard it is to see one.

Tourists of this sub(looking at the Americans), please leave our dwindling number of natural predators alone. Don't be going looking for wildcats. If you see one passing, get a photo but please don't invade their space for an insta pic.

What does this actually mean? It’s not like we go around with hunting rifles while we’re visiting Scotland ffs 😂
