Iberian Lynx - El Lince Ibérico
The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a critically endangered species native to the Iberian Peninsula in southern Europe. It is the most endangered cat species in the world. According to the conservation group SOS Lynx, if this species died out, it would be one of the few feline extinctions since the Smilodon 10,000 years ago.
The only breeding populations are in Spain and they were thought to be only living in Andalucia in the Coto Doñana National Park and in the Sierra de Andújar. However, in 2007, Spanish authorities announced that they had discovered a previously unknown population in Castilla - La Mancha in central Spain.
