The Iberian lynx [Lynx pardinus] and the Iberian wolf [Canis lupus signatus] are two of Portugal's most interesting animals. They're interesting because of their past, their present, and their public appeal. Specifically, both are native to the Iberian Peninsula. In fact, both used to be found throughout Portugal and Spain before the 20th century.
Both now are considered endangered species. In fact, the Iberian lynx is known as the world's most endangered cat family member. Its numbers are so low that its disappearance would be the first feline extinction since the prehistoric demise of the saber-toothed tiger [Smilodon] 10,000 years ago.
But there's hope for the survival of both animals. Both generate passionate interest and concrete action by scientists, the general public, and amateur conservationists.
