A wildlife charity is looking for an expert to judge whether wildcats can be reintroduced to Devon for the first time in hundreds of years." to study different locations in the county for the return of the once-native predator.The trust said the Devon landscape was one of the mammal's "last strongholds".
European wildcats are stockier than the domestic cat with a fluffier tail and distinct body markings. Wildcats, now the UK's rarest animal, once played an important ecological role in the countryside, the trust said." due to interbreeding with domestic cats. Peter Burgess, the charity's director of nature recovery, said appointing an expert was the first step in a wider plan to reintroduce the species.
The wildcat project officer will carry out scientific assessments, a social feasibility study and conduct public consultation."Much of this will involve working with local communities to see if reintroduction is feasible.
That wildcat looks like 'No, we don't need any officers. I'll handle it.'
oh this cat is ultra-cute 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
