Iberian lynx  (Lynx pardinus)

Historically widespread throughout the Iberian peninsular and the south of France (4). Today, small and severely fragmented populations are found only in diminishing areas of suitable habitat in central and south-western parts of Spain, and in the Algarve mountains of Portugal (5).

Found in Mediterranean woodland and marquis habitat (a scrub-like habitat of open forests and thickets), where there is a mixture of dense scrub and open pasture (6).
