The kitten of an African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica). This cat primarily eats mice, rats and other small mammals. 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. Photographed in the Auob Riverbed of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park, Southern Africa.
