Iberian Lynx


The Iberian lynx or lynx pardinus is the feline species most critically endangered. It habit in Iberian Peninsula, but it is already extinct in the Portuguese territory. There are only about a hundred lynx living in freedom.

Its diet is composed of rabbits, but when these are missing it eats deer, mice, ducks, partridges and lizards. It is essentially active at night and a climber.

When they have too many babies, there is a competition between them and just only 1 or 2 can reach adulthood.

Their main threats are:
reducing the population of rabbits;
pedestrians;
poaching.
