The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a critically endangered species native to the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe. According to the conservation group SOS Lynx, if the Iberian lynx died out, it would be the first feline species to become extinct since prehistoric times.

There is only about as 220 individuals survive in the wild.
The species was once widespread across the Iberian Peninsula but has declined drastically over recent decades due to habitat loss, reductions in prey and high non-natural mortality from road kills, hunting and predator control.

Iberian lynx displace and kill other carnivores - including foxes, Egyptian mongooses, and feral cats and dogs - to ensure sufficient supplies of rabbit populations and to protect their offspring. The loss of the Iberian lynx could result in an increase in the density of more common predators and a consequent decrease in rabbit populations.

Please, help save this beautiful cats and spread the word about them!
