Cats

This publication describes the very urgent situation regarding the Iberian Lynx. Its position on IUCN's red list as critically endangered indicates that the chances of extinction are quite real. Extinction of the lynx would mean the fist extinction of a big cat in Europe since the disappearance of the Sabre-toothed tiger approximately 10.000 years ago.

Booklet of a series intended to give the general reader facts and information about fur-bearing mammals from a more conservation-oriented perspective than information generally available from other sources. It is based on the relevant SSC Action Plan and is well-illustrated with colour photographs and a centre-spread of sketches showing the animals in action, as well as containing a wealth of interesting information about each species' biology, feeding habits, breeding, and behaviour.
