Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx)

____________
The Canadian and Eurasian lynxes are both Least Concern, however the Iberian (or Spanish) lynx is Endangered. The population in estimated at 1200 in Spain and 100 in Portugal. They could decline 20 percent in the next 10 years due to habitat loss and reduced numbers of their main prey species, the European rabbit. The Canadian lynx is becoming very rare in the northern United States due to hunting, habitat destruction, and competition with the more aggressive bobcat. The Eurasian (aka Siberian) lynx is larger than the Canadian and more brown in coloration. Also highly dependent on rabbits, lynx populations closely follow those of rabbits. The European, Iberian, and Canadian lynxes are separate species, not subspecies.
