The Iberian lynx became endangered for two main reasons. The first of these was that it depends on rabbits to live and does not adjust well to eating other foods. The rabbits living in the lynx's habitat were nearly wiped out by a succession of two diseases, making it very hard for the lynx to find food. Its habitat has also been seriously impacted by human development, reducing the territory the lynx has available to it and further impacting its ability to survive.

The first half on how the Iberian Lynx became

critically endangered. Started by two diseases.

First disease is Myxomatosis is a disease found in

rabbits which started in the 1950's, and then the

second disease started in the 1980's called viral

Hemorrhagic pneumonia, as the Death Rate of rabbits

started falling the Iberian Lynx struggled as there

were very little population of rabbits around, some

of the Iberian lynx died of hunger That's how the first half of how the Iberian lynx

became threatened, the second half is when

Iberian Lynx lost their Habitat, Illegal hunting

sport hunting, accidental killing by snares set

for rabbits, and poison baits set for foxes and

other predators, even road kill have been a factor in

making the Iberian Lynx critically Endangered and

Threatened. And if continued will cause the iberian

lynx to tall extinction and will be the loss of the first

feline wild cat.
