An indoor exhibit within the city of Samokov, Bulgaria, showcases a European wildcat. The central subject is a taxidermy specimen or highly realistic model of a European wildcat (Felis silvestris) with greenish-blue eyes, mottled gray-brown fur displaying subtle tabby stripes, and a thick, ringed tail with a black tip. The wildcat is depicted in a seated position, facing slightly left of center, with its gaze directed forward. It rests on a dark, textured base resembling a rock or fallen log. The background is a large, glossy mural or print featuring an abstract, dark forest scene with lighter, swirling patterns that suggest foliage or dappled light. Horizontal light reflections are visible across the reflective surface of the background, particularly in the upper right quadrant. A horizontal wooden beam spans the top of the frame, partially obscuring the upper edge of the mural, with a narrow, illuminated light strip running beneath it. The bottom of the image shows a solid, dark gray wall or platform. No people are present.
