"female wild cat and young: in the forests of europe the common wild cat makes its home. This is not the animal commonly known in america as the wild cat, the latter being really the red lynx. The european animal is a true cat, larger than the domestic species and very fierce and bloodthirsty, preying upon all mammals and birds it can master. Yet like all felines it rears its young with great tenderness and affection. Here is a family of wild cats which has its home in a hole in the rocky forest. The mother has just returned with dinner for the kittens, who are welcoming her with voracious expectancy. "
