The Iberian lynx lives primarily in Mediterranean forests in Spain and Portugal, feeding mostly on rabbits. It is solitary and nocturnal. The Iberian lynx population declined dramatically in the 20th century due to hunting and loss of habitat. Other threats include traffic accidents, lack of food as rabbit populations decreased, and disease. With fewer than 500 remaining, the Iberian lynx is endangered and conservation efforts are needed to protect the species.

of the Iberian Peninsula,most of them in Andalucia
They have a mottled fur , pointy ears ,
and the hair around their faces grow during their live .Males are biger than the female , and their fur is darker .
Lynx is bigger than cats, has longer legs
and his fur is mottled. .
The 90% their diet are rabbits, but they
eat little mammial and bird too. The iberian lynx is solitary, territorial and they have nocturnal habits.
The principal motive
because the Iberian lynx are endangered is to hunt massive during XX century. In this moment they are also in danger from: lack of food, the traffic accident, and the diseases.
In the XX century the
men hunt iberian lynx because their fur, and the lynx compete with the man to hunt rabbit. In the actuality too lynx die by tramps and snares in unprotected areas
Another cause is the rabbits escased in
their habitad. Too the small number of lynx causes then to be most susceptible to diseases, especially leukemia.
A lot of lynx die
trampled when crossing roads.
Every people must to fight to protect the
Iberian Lynx, because there are less than 500 Iberian lynxs.
