Recently, a photographer in Spain spotted the world’s first-ever white Iberian lynx.
About Iberian Lynx:
It is a carnivore species endemic to Europe.
Appearance: It is the world’s most endangered and known for its pointy ears, long legs and leopard-like spotted fur.
This species, like other cat species, is sexually dimorphic, with males being heavier and longer than females.
This lynx is generally nocturnal and its activity patterns are closely synchronized with those of their major prey, the rabbit.
Habitat: It requires variable terrain below 1300 m, containing a mosaic of closed Mediterranean scrubland interspersed with open patches of grassland, often with marsh ecotones.
Distribution: Iberian lynx are found only in two small areas of southwest Spain on the Iberian Peninsula, west of the Pyrenees mountains.
Threats: These are related to human activities, such as poaching and habitat destruction, Illegal Hunting and decreased food base etc.
