The Ibeirien lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a endangered species o felid hamelt in the Peninsula o Ibeirie in Soothren Europe. As the maist feck o the Ibeirien lynx's diet is kinnens, it is unable tae signeeficantly alter its diet an, as a result, its population declined shairply whan its main prey wis decimatit bi twa diseases in the 20t century.[3][4] It wis affectit bi the loss o scrubland, its main habitat, tae human development an aa.[4] It is nou ane o the maist endangered cat species in the warld.[5] Accordin tae the conservation group SOS Lynx, if the Ibeirien lynx dee'd oot, it wad be the first feline species tae acome extinct syne prehistoric times.[6] Captive breedin an reintroduction programs hae boostit thair nummers. As o 2013, Andalusie haes a population o 309 leevin in the wild.[7][8]
