exercise 2: make a drafting about an endangered animal

diciembre 20, 2011

The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardons) is a species of carnivorous

mammal of the Fieldale family, native in the Iberian

Peninsula. There are only two towns in Andalusia,isolated from

each other, with a total of less than  300 indivuduals, plus another in

the Montes de Toledo of only fifteen individuals and

will barely viable, making it the most endangered feline in the

world. A graceful-looking cat with long legs and a short tail with

a black tassel at the end that usually stands up for tossing in times

of danger or excitement. Its characteristic pointy ears are finished

in a stiff black hair brush which favurs camouflage by breaking the

round shape of his head. There are also (feature) spins hanging

from its cheeks. It appears from year to live when hung just below

the chin and gets larger with age. Males have whiskers

and black brushes longer than females, a small bobcat,weighing

about half that or Eurasian Iynx (Lynx Iynx). Adult males weigh

an average of 12.8 kg and females about 9.3 kg, males can

weigh up to 20 kg. Both are different  species, sympatic

in central Europe during the Pleistocene. The time of separation is

estimated that occurred long before the separation of

the Eurasian Iynx and the Canadian Iynx (Lynx Canadensis). It is

considered that the Eurasian and Iberian Iynxes share an

ancestor issiodorensisLynx, the Iberian Iynx in Europe

and Eurasia (which later led to the Canada Iynx) in

China. Although the range of

the Eurasian Iynxes never overlapped a lot, and has

become essentially separated in recent times, the

two lynxes could coexist until the late nineteenth century and

perhaps in the Pyrenees and in the north coast of Spain.
