Day 4: (Iberian) LYNX

If I was gonna draw a lynx, of course it had to be the Iberian one haha.


They're something of a symbol here in Spain, since they're endemic to the Iberian peninsula (in this case, Spain & Portugal), and when we want to say that someone has really sharp eyesight, in Spanish we say "Fulano tiene vista de lince" (literally translated "John Doe is lynx-eyed") 👁️👁️ However, the Iberian lynx is the most endangered feline in the world and the most threatened carnivore in Europe, being on the verge of extinction barely two decades ago. Sadly they're still endangered, but conservative measures and breeding programs in Spain helped increase the population in recent years. Moreover, they've been also reintroduced in Portugal not too long ago. If you would like to read more about this beautiful feline and the efforts to stabilize it's population in Spain and Portugal, check the webpages:
