ENDANGERED ANIMALS
THE IBERIAN LINX
The Iberian Linx is a kind of cat, with leopard-like spots, and a big capacity to detect its prey. It lives in the Iberian Peninsula and it is one of the most endangered cat species in the world. It likes to live in environments with trees, dense shrubs or open grasslands. Nowadays, it's only found in mountainous areas. The Iberian Lynx hunts mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, but its main prey is the rabbit. They can eat one rabbit per day (males) or three rabbits per day (females).
Today, it is estimated to be as few as 100 surviving Iberian Lynxes. The situation is critical. They are endangered because of the destruction of their habitat and the declining of rabbit's population.
To sum up, nowadays, there are a lot of groups or associations that work to protect the Lynx's habitat, help them to reproduce and to find food.
