An African wildcat resting in the shade of a camelthorn tree (Acacia erioloba). Todays domestic cats are believed to be descendants of the African Wild Cat. Pure genetic African Wild Cats are quite rare and only found in remote areas as elsewhere interbreeding with domestic cats has taken place. The African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) eats primarily mice, rats and other small mammals. It is vulnerable to being killed by leopards and other larger cats which occupy the same terrain. Filmed in the Auob Riverbed of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Southern Africa
