Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) — lynx Also known as the Spanish lynx or the Pardel lynx, the species bears a strong resemblance to the Eurasian lynx (*Lynx lynx*), but it may be distinguished by its smaller size; short, dark-tipped tail; and the presence of long, white, beardlike fur under its chin.

The home ranges of the Canada lynx differ significantly between males and females:

Females: Their home ranges are smaller, averaging 75 square km (29 square miles).1
Males: Their home ranges are larger, averaging 150 square km (58 square miles).1

While these ranges are distinct, female dens may be located in close proximity to one another, typically within 107 to 2,700 meters (350 to 8,900 feet).1
