The Scottish wildcat lives six years in the wild, though when in captivity it's recorded they live as long as fifteen years.
The Lynx is by far much bigger than the Scottish Wildcat. The Scottish Wildcat has a similar appearance to a very large and well-muscled shorthaired domestic cat. Males typically weigh between 6-9 kilograms (13-17 lb) and females weigh 5-7 kilograms (11-15 lb). The Lynx is much larger. Even the smaller species of Lynx, the Canadian Lynx, is still very much larger than a Wildcat. Canadian Lynx can weigh around 8-11 kilograms (18-24 lb), and have a length of 80-105 centimetres (31-41 in). The Eurasian Lynx is bigger still, ranging in length from 81-129 centimetres (32-51 in) and weigh around 18 to 30 kilograms (40 to 66 lb).
Wildcats eat rabbits, rodents,hares and other small mammals,also small birds.

Join the Scottish Wildcat Foundation, donate and adopt a Wildcat. You can also help stop destroying the Highlands and the Wildcat's habitat. But don't go to them or disturb them; leave them alone. Only experts can touch them

A Scottish wildcat typically has a litter of 2 to 5 kittens at one time. The gestation period lasts about 63 to 68 days, after which the mother will care for the kittens in a den until they are old enough to begin exploring and hunting on their own.

Yes, the Scottish wildcat has several adaptations that help it thrive in its rugged environment. Its thick, striped fur provides excellent camouflage in the Scottish heather and helps insulate against cold weather. Additionally, its muscular build and strong legs enable it to navigate rocky terrain and make agile jumps when hunting small prey. The wildcat's keen senses, particularly its sharp hearing and excellent night vision, enhance its ability to hunt effectively at dawn and dusk.
The largest species of cat native to the UK is a subspecies of the European wildcat, the Scottish wildcat which ranges in size from 11 to 17 pounds. They are extremely endangered, with less than 400 remaining in the wild.
