Iberia bobcat

In the Donana National Park in Andalucia, the Spanish government is implementing a project to preserve one of the world's rarest wild cats. It is Iberia lynx, living mainly in Southern Spain and Portugal. It is estimated that only 150 children live in the wild.

Iberia cats have a domestic cat face with small ears and a bunch of feathers around their necks. The coat is gray or yellowish-brown and occasionally has black spots on the legs. The feet are large and hairy, making them easy to walk on the snow. They are about 70 cm tall, approximately 1 m long and weigh about 13-25 kg.

Overall, Iberia has a smaller body than the Canadian wildcat, Eurasia and Bobcat. Thanks to his bright eyes, the bobcat can recognize prey up to 500 meters away. They often hunt at dusk. Although Iberia is a terrestrial predator, Iber trees climb and swim very well. In the breeding season, children often leave their places to look for males. It is about 65-75 days pregnant and usually born in March or April.

The cause of the Iberian cat being listed as the most endangered in the cat family is because the disease kills most of its main food source - hare. However, environmental experts believe that the real threat to the survival of this lynx is the swamp areas where they live more and more dry. If they do not have environmental rehabilitation measures for them, the preservation of this rare species will become hopeless.
