So apparently this endangered feline sounds like a cross between my cat coughing up a fur ball and a growling dog. It’s a good job it has good looks (and I mean stunning looks!) to go with that noise.
The conservation effort taken to prevent the Iberian Lynx’s extinction has paid out, and from a shrinking population of less than 100 individuals in 2002, now 404 cats live in the Mediterranean forests of the Iberian Peninsula. A new ambitious conservation project, LIFE Iberlince, is recovering some of the lynx’s lost territories in Spain and Portugal. Although its population has increased, it’s still listed as an Endangered animal.
As a couple that we know are moving to Portugal at the end of the month, I thought it best to paint them this so that they know to watch out when they see one coming! Even though the original is not for sale, A4 and A3 mounted prints can be ordered. I hope you like it!
