I just thought that this picture was made for an attempt at a caption. I think I have failed but I have tried!

The Pallas cat (better name: Pallas's cat) is a cute looking small wild cat that lives across a wide area from the Caspian Sea to eastern Russia.

I think this cat had been safely trapped and was being taken for testing. He looks comfortable enough.

I think also that this group of researchers did good work in respect of conservation.

However, I sometimes feel though that the wildcats should simply be left alone as that is the best way to protect and conserve them.
