Iberian Lynx

Iberian Lynx are the most endangered cat in the world and have been the subject of recent reintroduction projects. They have long legs, short black-tipped tails, short flat faces, black ear tufts, and furred jowls. Like most cats, they are solitary and nocturnal, though male and female territories can overlap. The Iberian Lynx historically ranged throughout the Iberian Peninsula, but their geographic range has drastically decreased. Their preferred terrain includes both shrub cover and open space, which is also the preferred habitat of their preferred prey species.
