Scottish wildcats primarily inhabit the rugged landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, favoring areas with dense underbrush, woodlands, and rocky terrains. They thrive in regions that offer plenty of cover for hunting and breeding, often found near forests, moorlands, and riverbanks. These elusive cats prefer habitats with a mix of open ground for stalking prey and sheltered areas for resting and raising their young. Their habitat is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and hybridization with domestic cats.
