Description

Felis silvestris silvestris (Schreber, 1775)

English: European Wildcat in her environment. The image was taken in the Wisentgehege Springe game park, near Springe, Hanover, Germany. The wildcat protects itself with two strategies: camouflage her body and defending their territory. The camouflage is done by brown color and vertical stripes on their fur and her face and by hiding behind plants and shrubs. To defend their territory, the wildcat guarding the lowest access to their territory. In their area there is a big tree. The fur of the wildcat has the same color and the same pattern as the bark of the tree. The wildcat lives on that tree, there it is protected through the camouflage of the coat.
Deutsch: Europäische Wildkatze in der Wildnis. Das Bild wurde aufgenommen im Wisentgehege Springe bei Springe in der Region Hannover, Deutschland. Das Wisentgehege ist als Fauna-Flora-Habitat ein Bestandteil des europäischen Schutzsystems Natura 2000. Die Wildkatze schützt sich mit zwei Strategien: Tarnung ihres Körpers und Verteidigung ihres Reviers. Die Tarnung geschieht durch braune Farbe und senkrechte Streifen auf ihrem Fell und Gesicht und durch Verstecken des Körpers hinter Pflanzen und Sträuchern. Zur Verteidigung ihres Reviers bewacht die Wildkatze den niedrigsten Zugang zu ihrem Revier. In ihrem Revier steht ein großer Baum; das Fell der Wildkatze hat die gleiche Farbe und das gleiche Muster wie die Borke des Baumes. Die Wildkatze lebt auf diesem Baum, dort ist sie durch die Tarnfarbe des Felles geschützt.
