Iberian lynx are found only in two small areas of southwest Spain on the Iberian Peninsula, west of the Pyrenees mountains. Despite extensive surveys, they have not been detected in Portugal since the 1990’s.
Closely related to the Eurasian lynx, their ranges used to meet at the Spanish-French border along the Pyrenees Mountains. More recently, the range of the Iberian Lynx has significantly contracted, and now consists of a series of small islands of suitable natural habitat, such as national parks and reserves.
" When I go, I go alone There ain't no one ever looking out for me Just the sun, my own lean shadow And the wind out among the trees
Home, it's far beyond long lost horizons Home I'll never see For I'll be a prisoner of the road And I hold no key that will ever set me free
Most humbly on my bending knee I'm begging you to help me, please For I'm a prisoner of the road And I hold no key, I hold no key that will ever set me free "
Photographer Konstantin Shatenev: "In the first year of life, when cubs need protection, mombear feeds her cubs with milk and teaches them how to survive. The first and main lesson is to notice the danger in time and climb a tree as quickly as possible." http://www.wildlife-expedition.com/
