The Iberian Lynx
Iberian Lynx
The Iberian Lynx ( Felis pardina ) is a solitary wildcat with tufted ears and a spotted coat. It lives in southwestern Europe, and it’s diet consists of rabbits, fawns, ducks and other small animals. Due to loss of habitat and prey the species has become endangered. In fact it may be the first feline to go extinct since 2,000 years ago. The future looks dim for the Iberian Lynx, but the species may pull through. Only time will tell.
