What's the difference between a wildcat and a wild cat? Well, you could probably say you own a wild cat as a pet because of its crazy personality. But yours would not be considered a wildcat. In this video, you and your kids will learn interesting facts about a group of species that scientists call wildcats, such as tigers, lions, jaguars, cheetahs, and leopards.

Wildcats are carnivorous, so they eat a lot of meat. They have excellent eyesight and hearing to help them find and capture their prey. Their diet includes antelopes, rabbits, giraffes, and even reptiles for some of them. Wildcats that live near human settlements often prey on poultry like ducks and geese.

These majestic animals are part of every culture and can be found on the oldest of cave drawings. They are often the face of companies and sports teams as mascots. Sadly, lots of wildcat species are endangered, and many others are vulnerable or near threatened. Their populations are declining because of habitat loss. Sometimes, habitat loss happens naturally, but in most cases, it's because of the increased use of land by humans for homes, buildings, and roads.
