  3. ThEiR lIvEs • The iberians linx usually live in Iberian Peninsula • They always eat rabbits but sometimes they eat rodents, fawns, birds, small mammals and partridges

  4. DeScRpTiOn • While the Eurasian lynx bears rather pallid markings, the Iberian lynx has distinctive, leopard-like spots with a coat that is often light grey or various shades of light brownish-yellow. Some western populations were spotless, although these have recently become extinct. • The head and body length is 85–110 cm, with the short tail an additional 12–30 cm; the shoulder height is 60–70 cm. The male is larger than the female, with the average weight of males 12.9 kg and a maximum of 26.8 kg, compared to 9.4 kg for females; this about half the size of the Eurasian lynx. • The Iberian Lynx has four sets of whiskers: two groups on the ears and two on the chin. It uses these to sense its prey.

  5. RePrOdUcTiOn • During the mating season the female leaves her territory in search of a male. The typical gestation period is about two months; the cubs are born between March and September, with a peak of births in March and April. A litter consists of two or three (rarely one, or four to five) kittens weighing between 200–250 grams. The kittens become independent at 7–10 months old, but remain with the mother until around 20 months old. Survival of the young depends heavily on the availability of prey species. In the wild both males and females reach sexual maturity at one year old, though in practice they rarely breed until a territory becomes vacant; one female was known not to breed until five years old when its mother died. The maximum longevity in the wild is 13 years.

  6. CuStOmS • The Iberian lynx live so solitary and nomadic, showing more sociable at the time of estrus. It is an agile hunter. Stealthily approaching the dam and jump on it quickly. When temperatures rise, the lynx spend more time resting as opposed to when there is rainfall, smaller bobcats are diurnal. During winter, bobcats can be active 24 hours a day

  8. Why they iberians lynx are dangerous of extinction • The extinction of the Iberian lynx, could come in 10 years, is due to three reasons: Death in bonds and stocks, by some hunters shot and killed on roads. The destruction of habitat, especially for construction. The decrease in numbers of rabbits, their main prey
