African wildcat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The black footed cat are a diff. specie. The African wildcat are closely related to domestic cats. The southern ones are a subspecie of the north African wildcat as the European one are.
from IUCN:
In North
Africa they occur discontinuously from
Morocco through Algeria, Tunisia, Libya
and into Egypt. It has an extensive
distribution across the savannas of West
Africa from Mauritania on the Atlantic
seaboard, eastwards to the Horn of Africa,
Sudan and Ethiopia; southwards it is
present in all East and southern African
countries (Stuart et al. in press) where it
is replaced by the Southern African
Wildcat subspecies F.s. cafra (Driscoll et
al. 2007). At present the boundary
between the two cannot be determined
by available genetic samples, but
morphological evidence suggests the
break to occur in the south-east, in the
area of Tanzania and Mozambique
(Yamaguchi et al. 2004a,b; Kitchener and
Rees 2009).
