Animals Territory | Iberian lynx | The Iberian lynx
(Lynx pardinus) is a critically endangered species of felid native to
the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe. A rabbit specialist, the
Iberian lynx is unable to significantly alter its diet and, as a result,
its population declined sharply when its main prey was decimated by two
diseases in the 20th century. It was also affected by the loss of
scrubland, its main habitat, to human development.
