African Wild Cat

Wildlife Photography by artist Philip Eglise showing an African Wild Cat (Felis silvestris)

Country: South Africa, Northern Cape

The African wild cat is usually an extremely shy and nocturnal animal and virtually impossible to photograph or even see in the wild.  However, in some national parks of Southern Africa, you have a much higher chance of seeing them.   Many of my photographs of African wild cats were taken well into the day when they are usually asleep in their dens.  This was also due to the very cold nights which drew normally nocturnal animals out during the day.  This cat came so close that I was unable to focus with my camera and had to wait until he had moved away before getting these shots!  He then sat outside the car whilst cleaning himself.
