Rare kitty makes her debut for cameras

-

A RARE Scottish wildcat kitten has been photograph­ed for the first time.

The female, born at Chester Zoo in August, could offer a “lifeline for the species”, zoo bosses said. Wildcats, hunted to the brink of extinction, are Britain’s rarest mammals. As few as 100 are estimated to be left. The zoo said: “Wildcats will usually have only one litter a year, so every birth is really significan­t.”
