this picture was chosen to be one of the finalists:
for Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 contest....
out of 50,000 entries from 92 countries. So...no small feat!
the extremely rare Iberian lynx.....
(
Laura had seen many of Spain’s wild animals.....
but never the elusive Iberian lynx......
an ENDANGERED! cat..... found ONLY! in two small populations in southern Spain.
and.... Unlike the larger European lynx
the Iberian lynx feeds almost entirely on rabbits.
well...that must be one very agile and quick cat... :-)
hard to photograph!
anyway....enjoy!
