Scottish Wildcat (c)
This is one from the British Wildlife Centre. Everyone was after the snarling shot (one of the cats now practically poses on command!) but I preferred to try and show a more natural pose. It would be a tragedy to lose these cats from the wild.

Doesn't look like a very wild cat to me, more a study in concentration. It makes a change to see a picture of this subject that isn't the same old cliche.
Beautifully detailed.
