White Iberian lynx.. the ghost wild cat appears again.

Several months ago, a Spanish photographer was able to recording the first documentary video of the rare white Iberian lynx, and this is the first time that the white Iberian lynx has been spotted in the wild. before a few days ago, same the photographer published some new pictures of this white Iberian lynx, and this photographer still keeps the location of the white Iberian lynx in secret to protect this the rare lynx from any danger. As it is known, the Iberian lynx fur color ranges from reddish-brown to brownish-gray, and these are the common color patterns of the Iberian lyes in the wild But this white Iberian lynx is different from the rest of his family, The reason behind the appearance of this white color is a genetic mutation that causes a decrease in the pigment of melanin, which controls the color of the animal's fur, where Increased melanin pigment makes the animal's fur appear dark and black, while the lack of this pigment makes the animal's fur appear in a lighter color that tends to white, This genetic mutation of fur appears in both carnivores and herbivores, such as deer and wild cats, It is worth noting that the Iberian lynx is one of the types of wild cats threatened with extinction due to the decrease in its numbers in the wild, In 1986 the Iberian lynxes were over 3000, but their numbers were exposed sharply after that, in 2002 only 94 Individual remained of them, but in 2012 the number increased to 326, then the number increased in 2020 to 855, and by 2025 the number increased to 1111. The size of the Iberian lynx is not as large as the Eurasian and Canadian lynx.His cousins are larger and more numerous than him because they live in vast and open areas where the abundance of large and varied preys. While the Iberian lynx lives isolated in small areas of the semi-isolated Iberian peninsula, where the preys is limited and its numbers are few, However, the Iberian lynx succeeded in adapting to its environment and was able to withstand and survive in the wild, The Iberian lynx is a skilled hunter and relies in his diet to hunt small-sized birds and mammals such as rabbits and small reptiles. #lynx #lince #lince #cat #wildcat #white #whitecat #spain #wildlife #animals #wildanimals #explore #explorepage #felidae #bigcats #bigcat #السنوريات
