Did you manage to catch a glimpse of our elusive Highland Tiger team?
They were wandering the highlands this summer, appearing at shows and fairs to help spread the word and the word is WILDCAT.
Here they are at the Grantown show chatting to the public about what the project involves and how it's all going.
If you din't manage to catch up with them, David Hetherington will be doing more talks so we will keep you updated with when and where you can catch him. Until then if you have any questions feel free to drop us a line at highlandtiger@rzss.org.uk.

The little guy is doing well and is taking after his dad with his boisterous and curious nature.
In additional news there were also three more kittens born to a pair that are currently not on show to the public. They have turned out to be a male and two females taking the park's cat numbers to five males and seven females.
Big cat finds a new home in Newtonmore
13 August 2010
After a bit of furniture removal and a lot of help from staff and trustees, the beautiful Mela cat has found pride of place in the Newtonmore Wildcat Centre.
Whilst this giant is easy to spot there are many more around Newtonmore as part of the Wildcat Experience. The Wildcat Experience, with its elements of treasure hunt, map-reading and exercise, is proving a great success with those who get involved. Local residents have enjoyed being involved in the decoration side and having a resident wildcat model in their gardens. Many of them have also got hooked on seeing how many they can find. There are currently nearly 80, so it is quite a challenge. Here's hoping that along with the fun they have, the visitors are learning about the Scottish Wildcat and becoming aware of its situation.
