Distribution o Ibeirien Lynx, 2015

The Ibeirien lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a endangered species o felid hamelt in the Peninsula o Ibeirie in Soothren Europe. As the maist feck o the Ibeirien lynx's diet is kinnens, it is unable tae signeeficantly alter its diet an, as a result, its population declined shairply whan its main prey wis decimatit bi twa diseases in the 20t century. It wis affectit bi the loss o scrubland, its main habitat, tae human development an aa. It is nou ane o the maist endangered cat species in the warld. Accordin tae the conservation group SOS Lynx, if the Ibeirien lynx dee'd oot, it wad be the first feline species tae acome extinct syne prehistoric times. Captive breedin an reintroduction programs hae boostit thair nummers. As o 2013, Andalusie haes a population o 309 leevin in the wild.

Formerly considered a subspecies o the Euraisien lynx (Lynx lynx), the Ibeirien lynx is nou classified as a separate species. Baith species occurred thegither in central Europe in the Pleistocene epoch, bein separatit bi habitat choice.
