Good news about the Iberian lynx for once. With 13 babies this year, the captive breeding centres are full to capacity, and there are now a total of 60 cats in the programme. Release dates for both Cordoba and Jaen provinces have been brought forward a year. The most endangered feline species on Earth, the Iberian lynx isn't yet out of the woods, so to speak, but as numbers are so small, the percentage increase in the population is highly significant. Whole article in English at the Olive Press here. Regarding the picture, I'm not sure little Eco has quite got the hang of rabbit hunting yet. She seems to have eaten one ear and saved the rest for later.
More lynx links
