Behavioral Adaptations
Hiding Leftover Meat:
To overcome the challenge of the drastically decreased European Rabbit population, which takes up 80% of the Iberian's diet. When the Iberian's hunt and it has meat leftover form its prey, it will store it somewhere safe. Independence: Lynx's are naturally aggressive and territorial and with the little territory to go around. Being Independent cause the Iberian Lynx to not rely on anyone else to survive. Although humans have been the main reason the Iberian Lynx has become critically endangered. |
