Wildcats of the World

Some of these images were taken specifically for Wild Cats of the World by Mel and Fiona Sunquist (University of Chicago Press 2002, see image to the right) while others reflect my personal interest in this fascinating and threatened family. All the photos were taken in captive breeding centres, accredited zoos and wildlife rescue centres around the world. It would take a lifetime to photograph this many elusive, largely nocturnal, species in the wild.
