KingdomKingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: MammaliaOrder: CarnivoraFamily: FelidaeGenus: LynxSpecie: Pardinus

Species profileTaxonomy group: Tetrapods (Animals), Amniotes

Known as: The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus), Pardel Lynx, or Spanish Lynx

Can be found in Spain and/or Portugal (but presence is uncertain)

More stuff about the Iberian Lynx!!!220 lynxes left in Spain (estimate)

In Portugal a sign search, camera trapping and box trapping survey conducted in 2002 by the Instituto da Conservacao da Natureza failed to detect a single lynx

Lives in Mediterranean woodland and maquis thicket (basically terrestrial)

More Interesting Facts!!Favors scrub for shelter and open pasture for hunting

rabbits

90% of daytime resting spots used by lynx were located in thick heather scrub

The most endangered feline/cat specie in the world

Major Threats!Agricultural Development

Due to the planting of Mediterranean scrublands with pines and eucalyptus

This lead to the moving of the Iberian Lynx from one part of Spain, to the Western part of Spain

Major Threats!!!Industrial Development

Road buildings, dam constructions, and the building of residential homes

This took away and destroyed the Iberian Lynx's natural habitat of forestry, woodland area

MAJOR THREATS!THE RABBIT!

There is a decline in rabbit populations, because of habitat changes and Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease

It sent the rabbit population down and the Iberian Lynx’s only source of food

They are being hunted by hunters

Major Threats!!! MAN!

They are being hunted by man for their rich fur and tasty good meat

They are being hunted by hunter

Classification Map The red dear, Canada Lynx, and Ethiopian

Wolf all belong in the same phylum with the Iberian Lynx which is Cordata because they all share almost the same bone structure, and they all have back bones

Consequences If the Iberian Lynx went extinct, it would be one of the few

feline extinctions in the world

Also, it would affect the economical side because there are different programs around the world that spent about $3.4 million dollars trying to help keep the Iberian Lynx from going extinct and save

It would affect humans because they wouldn’t learn about the Iberian Lynx , and they wouldn’t be able to get close to it and learn the many things there are about it

reproduce and have a home

Help to fire up a breeding program

Prevents any other further development in Iberian Lynx areas
