El lince es un carn\u00edvoro, de aspecto muy similar al de un gato, aunque de mayor tama\u00f1o. Tiene tres rasgos caracter\u00edsticos: cola corta, con una borla negra en su extremo, usada con sus movimientos para mostrar tanto el peligro como la excitaci\u00f3n; pelo negro similar a pinceles rematando sus orejas puntiagudas, y patillas que sobresalen de su rostro. Su pelaje moteado va del pardo al gris\u00e1ceo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Es un animal n\u00f3mada, nocturno y solitario: solo se socializa durante la \u00e9poca de celo, en los primeros meses del a\u00f1o. Las camadas suelen ser de entre 2 y 4 cachorros. Aunque en invierno tienen actividad durante todo el d\u00eda, en cuanto suben las temperaturas, suelen mantenerse ocultos hasta el crep\u00fasculo. Cazador \u00e1gil, se alimenta principalmente de conejos y liebres, aunque tambi\u00e9n disfruta con cualquier peque\u00f1o mam\u00edfero, perdices y otras aves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Este felino, que antes era considerado una alima\u00f1a, y muy apreciado por su piel, es especie protegida desde los a\u00f1os 60. Su h\u00e1bitat se ha reducido a zonas muy concretas de bosque mediterr\u00e1neo: Do\u00f1ana, parte de Sierra Morena y los Montes de Toledo, y zonas muy restringidas de Portugal. Es, de hecho, el felino m\u00e1s amenazado del planeta, por los pocos ejemplares que quedan, lo que hace que sea de suma importancia su conservaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lince Ib\u00e9rico\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4VouiTWMGCo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I always wanted to have one as a child. When I grew up, I still did, but I found out it would be quite difficult, so I had to make do with my cat. However, I\u2019ve always been fascinated by the beauty of our most characteristic and elegant feline: the Iberian lynx.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unfortunately, this animal is on the brink of extinction today. The lynx is a carnivore, with the looks of a cat, but bigger. It has three distinctive features: a short tail with a tassel at the end of it, which they use to communicate danger or excitement; dark hairs resembling paintbrush bristles on the tip of their pointy ears, and long whiskers sticking out of their face. Their spotted fur color goes from brownish to grayish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is a lonely, nomadic, and nocturnal animal: they only socialize during the mating season, during the first few months of the year. Their litters tend to include between 2 and 4 cubs. While in the winter time they stay active all day, as soon the temperature rises they prefer to stay hidden until dusk. \u00a0They\u2019re agile hunters, and they feed mainly on rabbits and hares, although they also enjoy other small mammals, partridges, and other birds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This feline, formerly regarded as a pest, and valued for its fur, has been protected since the 60s. Its habitat has been reduced to very specific areas of Mediterranean forest: Do\u00f1ana, Sierra Morena Natural Park, and the Toledo Mountains, as well as some limited areas in Portugal. In fact, it is the most endangered cat in the planet, with only a few specimens left, which makes its preservation all the more important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De peque\u00f1a siempre quise tener uno.
