National Museums Scotland are a major partner in Scottish Wildcat Action, a national conservation project to help bring back our native Scottish wildcats from the brink of extinction. Hear how Dr Andrew Kitchener's research on hybridisation is helping the wildcat team to protect this endangered species.
Can you tell the difference between a Scottish wildcat and an obvious hybrid? More tips on identifying wildcats at www.scottishwildcataction.org/about-wildcats.
