The Iberian Lynx’s habitat is in southern Europe or forests and scrub lands of Portugal, Spain. Their mass is about ten to thirteen kilograms, their height is about eighty-eight to one hundred centimeters and their length is about 2.8-3.6 feet.
The Iberian Lynx is the world’s most endangered cat species. It is rated a critically endangered. One reason for this is highway construction splitting up their habitat causing them to be hit by cars, and habitat loss because of roads and railways. A couple other reasons are hunting for fur and meat, myxomatosis and the haemorrhagic disease causing European rabbits, the Iberian Lynx’s main diet (including rodents) and other rabbit species more likely to die. If this species dies out, it will be the first feline extinction since the Smilodon (commonly known as the saber-toothed cat) 10,000 years ago.
