The Iberian LynxBy: Avinash Jagmohan
KingdomKingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: MammaliaOrder: CarnivoraFamily: FelidaeGenus: LynxSpecie: Pardinus
Species profileTaxonomy group: Tetrapods (Animals), Amniotes
Known as: The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus), Pardel Lynx, or Spanish Lynx
Can be found in Spain and/or Portugal (but presence is uncertain)
More stuff about the Iberian Lynx!!!220 lynxes left in Spain (estimate)
In Portugal a sign search, camera trapping and box trapping survey conducted in 2002 by the Instituto da Conservacao da Natureza failed to detect a single lynx
Lives in Mediterranean woodland and maquis thicket (basically terrestrial)
More Interesting Facts!!Favors scrub for shelter and open pasture for hunting
rabbits
90% of daytime resting spots used by lynx were located in thick heather scrub
The most endangered feline/cat specie in the world
Major Threats!Agricultural Development
Due to the planting of Mediterranean scrublands with pines and eucalyptus
This lead to the moving of the Iberian Lynx from one part of Spain, to the Western part of Spain
Major Threats!!!Industrial Development
Road buildings, dam constructions, and the building of residential homes
This took away and destroyed the Iberian Lynx's natural habitat of forestry, woodland area
MAJOR THREATS!THE RABBIT!
There is a decline in rabbit populations, because of habitat changes and Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease
It sent the rabbit population down and the Iberian Lynx’s only source of food
They are being hunted by hunters
Major Threats!!! MAN!
They are being hunted by man for their rich fur and tasty good meat
They are being hunted by hunter

Classification Map The red dear, Canada Lynx, and Ethiopian
Wolf all belong in the same phylum with the Iberian Lynx which is Cordata because they all share almost the same bone structure, and they all have back bones
Consequences If the Iberian Lynx went extinct, it would be one of the few
feline extinctions in the world
Also, it would affect the economical side because there are different programs around the world that spent about $3.4 million dollars trying to help keep the Iberian Lynx from going extinct and save
It would affect humans because they wouldn’t learn about the Iberian Lynx , and they wouldn’t be able to get close to it and learn the many things there are about it

SOS LYNX!Is a conservation camp for Iberian Lynx to
reproduce and have a home
Help to fire up a breeding program
Prevents any other further development in Iberian Lynx areas

LETS HELP SAVE OTHER ENDAGERED SPECIES FROM ECTINCTION!
MR.KAAASSSSSS!Hey Mr.Kass, I know that this slide may be
inappropriate for the project but just to let you know, I used the first 2 websites forspecies profile, major threats, food web, classification map, and consequences, Redlist and Grzmieks
