"Wildcats released in the UK for the first time are thriving with only one
death, say conservationists.
Nineteen were released into the wild in the summer at Cairngorms National Park
in the Scottish Highlands.
The Saving Wildcats project is tracking the cats using GPS-radio collars.
The project is a collaboration between the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland
(RZSS), NatureScot, Forestry and Land Scotland, and the Cairngorms National
Park Authority.
Another 13 kittens have been bred for the scheme, which has partners in Sweden
and Andalucia, Spain.
The new kittens, born at RZSS's Highland Wildlife Park, will be released into
the wild next summer once they are aged six to eight months.
The endangered wildcats live in grassland and woodland where they hunt for mice
and voles."
