Habitat and Distribution: Where to Find the Highland Tiger The Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris), affectionately known as the "Highland tiger," inhabits some of Scotland's most remote and rugged landscapes. These elusive creatures have long been symbols of the untamed wilderness, thriving in areas where their unique adaptability enables them to hunt, reproduce, and evade predators. However, their habitat and distribution have diminished significantly, leaving the wildcat confined to increasingly fragmented regions in the Scottish Highlands. Preferred Habitat Scottish wildcats are highly adaptable, but they primarily thrive in mixed habitats that combine woodlands, moorlands, and open grasslands. They rely on dense forested areas for shelter, particularly during the day when they rest, and use open areas for hunting. The mosaic of woodlands and open spaces provides a balance of cover and access to prey, including rabbits, rodents, and small birds. Unlike domestic cats, wildcats are solitary animals that avoid human settlements, preferring isolated areas where human activity is minimal.
