A young wildcat was spotted in the Synyohora Carpathian Park

A young wildcat, about 6–7 months old, was spotted in the “Sinyohora” National Nature Park in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The animal was sitting on a rock near the water, where, according to experts, it was catching fish.

According to the photographer, Yuriy Pospelov, the wild cat was already as large and sturdy as a well-fed house cat. Upon noticing a person, the animal quickly scrambled up a vertical rocky wall 6–7 meters high and hid in the forest.

The photos were posted in the “Animal World of Ukraine” Facebook group. 

Earlier, pink and Dalmatian pelicans were spotted in the “Tuzlivski Limany” National Nature Park in the Odesa region.
