The Iberian lynx was once on the brink of extinction with fewer than 100 individuals in the 1990s, but enhanced conservation efforts have increased their numbers to over 2,000.
Encountering an Iberian lynx in the wild requires immense patience or luck, as they blend remarkably well into their surroundings, making them elusive creatures.
The lynx's ears have long tufts, which can humorously resemble birds' heads as they walk, adding an interesting dimension to their elegant and stealthy movement.
The name 'lynx' likely derives from a Greek word meaning light, reflecting the striking brightness of their vivid, glass-like eyes that captivate observers.
