@@Safirajuro C'omon my friend, you know very well they think Portugal is Spain even though Portugal (Country) exists almost for a 1000th! years? 😅 Saudações Alfacinhas (Lusas) ✌️
@@Safirajuro Verdade! Infelizmente nós portugueses temos fazer o dobro ou triplo para obtermos o mesmo crédito (reconhecimento) que outros e isso será uma coisa que nunca irá mudar! Mas uma coisa é certa, faz-nos ter ainda mais orgulho pelo que é nosso! 💪
My 9 year old and I just watched this. I was telling him conservation is so important to our planet and we need to ensure these beautiful cats don't become extinct.
What happens when these cats grow in population and become bold enough to enter human homes and take children as an evening snack? Let's be careful because we are so far removed from nature that we forget that it is dangerous and we forget what it means to be on the menu of another predator. These cats look big enough to take a baby from its pram.
@@dibdap2373 That's relatively unlikely as most wild animals will want to stay away from humans. A cat the size of a lynx will want to remain invisible to a human (rightfully so if you ask me) but giving the benefit of the doubt, the animal will have to be on the brink of death from starvation and is desperately trying to find food for it to even think about going after people for food
@Astro Bastro Sure but we'll be the cause of the death of 50% or more of the life forms on earth lol.. that's pretty drastic even in evolutionary terms. Not saying anything will change that, but it is a sad and true fact.
@@allmightoneforall1338 Other animals also cause animals to go extinct. Animal species have been going extinct for a lot longer than we have existed. Most of the time the cause of extinction by humans isn't done out of malice, it's done by how we shape the natural world to better suit our own needs. It's just inevitable that when one species is successful others die off and that is how it has been since time immemorial. We are THE only species in the world that try to protect animals and ensure their survival. I'm so sick of seeing people trash humans like they're a stain on the world. Many do care and it's pretty clear that we do. But why take it as an opportunity to hate ourselves when we've contributed positively more than at any other time in our own history let alone the history of the planet as a whole.
@@jaysonthorne3336 lol, right? By the time boomers can admit there's a problem literally 80% of large animals will be gone that were here in the 80s. Denial is one hell of a drug.
By now (2023) there is an aproximate population of more than 1700 linxes in the wild, and ever since the start of this reintroducing project more and more areas are being populated with them. This very year 2 more regions have a small number of lynxes which hopefully might be the seed of new populations. It is being an extraordinary effort and it's a pride for all spaniards and portuguese
I have high hopes for the youngest generation. Maybe they'll care enough about preserving the earth's ecosystems to come together around fixing the problems created by those who came before them. Earth should be a verdant paradise, not an industrial desert, and I think it comes down to what we value as individuals.
Sustainability student here. We can try, but it is surely not easy. But as long as it is not impossible to do something against it, people will do something against it. And in my opinion more and more people are starting to change things, it is starting bottom-up
@@isoinic9141 more and more people, that is the major problem. There are more and more people on Earth...there more and more people sho do not care and vice versa.
@@borizovskimilan even on a planet with 100 mio humans it would be possible to destroy the environment. It is less about how many people there are, but more about how they behave and how they are doing business. Pure rationale, cooperation would be the best solution to it, but this probably won't happen on its own terms.
Many of them eat tide pods and or have gender dysphoria and won't even preserve their genitals. They will waste their money on that instead of donating to conservation efforts. To make matters worse their prescription hormones will put chemicals in the water that will turn the freaking frogs gay.
Simplesmente lindo o Lince Ibérico ...não se pode perder!! Os esforços tem sido grandes e com algum sucesso...no entanto ainda há quem não reconheça a importância desta espécie....são mesmo uns grandes saltadores Invulgares ...as patilhas estão um must!!
A truly amazing feat by many dedicated individuals over many years to ensure the recovery of this wild cat headed for certain extinction. Just for info, this Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a separate species and genetically distinct to the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) that occurs in the rest of Europe.
Kate Soloman, no. You’re onto something... Let’s do it! No animals, no plants, no worries! Can’t cry about endangered lynx if there are no endangered lynx! This is one helluva concept!
God Bless those people who care about lynx and other endangered species, I pray that you have all the support, spiritual strength and passionate dedication to continue in your valuable effort in saving the species endangered or not. I wish that more persons like you should propagate, because people who value wildlife nowadays are getting rare. Thank so much and take care always.
I remember see them in Portugal when I was little! Then they became less and less as wild rabbits disappeared too! I hope you can stop their possible extinction
Such beautiful, agile creatures, I love the beautiful lynx, it makes me sad it has suffered so much. It's good now efforts are being made to support its numbers now. 🙏✌
The documentary is very good 👏👏. There are very complicated images to record. We also recorded and photographed the Iberian lynx😺 and to record 5 minutes you have to spend many days in the bush. We have to keep this animal from becoming extinct, and in its habitat one of the biggest problems is roads and accidents, every year some lynx die. 😥
Where I live we've got lynx crossing point signals to be aware of. I live really close to Doñana, one of the places with the most of Iberian lynx population
Such beautiful majestic animals! Cats are my favorite, they have such an allure and mystery about them like no other animal does, the lynx especially! 😍🤗😻🐯🦁🐈🐈🐈🐾🐾🍄❤️💙💛
WHAT can we do to help these poor Lynx’s??? 🥺🥺😭 Edit: i didnt see the whole video before i wrote this but damn i got so happy too see they are helping them!! 🧡Thats what they deserve since we humans dont take care of our world 🙄
The reintroduction of the species in other areas has allowed the population to rebound and grow to 1110. Still endangered but not nearly as bad as they were.
Theres a reproduction centre In Portugal which is breeding iberian lynx to protect from extinction most lynx there stay for about 10 months then they get released into the wild soon they will be more and more lynx living in Portugal
Thanks to Portugal, especially, for breeding and releasing these cats back into the wild. I love this image ; 2:47 ] -- a lovely cats in a lovely environment. Pls keep it, Pristine, on the Iberian Peninsula . . .
Rather say thanks to Spain there weren't none left in Portugal a fews years ago Spanish governments have done a lot to bring them back 👍what's fair is fair mate
@@kevinperera1320 It's incredible how portuguese people really think they did anything at all, literally spanish associations asked the eu for the money, and all the work was made in Spain, it's even amusing.
I’ve only ever seen one, unfortunately it was ( dead ) on the side of the road in a National Park in central Spain. Couldn’t stop and photograph it, as there were NO lay-by apart from one picnic area in the whole Park. The road was brand new, and apart from one Lorry Drive coming around a bend on our side of the road be hardly saw another vehicle !
The human race really needs to start a birth control plan in most countries but especially in countries where the growth rate is out of control. We already have enough people now if not too many.
Yep.Unfortunately people are too narcissistic, so they won’t do what they do to other animals like killing an animal that killed.People shouldn’t get a life in prison for things like pedophilia, they should get death penalty.They will never change, so why keep them alive in prison then spending all that money?
Sadly in Switzerland, every time a bear or wolves are settling down, stupid old people call out to shoot them down again. I hate living here, Switzerland is so behind with everything.
If the Lynx population was stable, they would've controlled the rabbit population without human intervention. If we only knew how pivotal a role each, and every living organism plays to our own survival.... We would of never let it get this bad. Bees are a prime example... Lose the bees, no pollination, no plant growth, and we lose 1/3 of our food. Open your eyes people... Respect this beautiful planet in which we live. Before we destroy that as well!
But in her inability to work in a group as a team, or adapt to water, teach their young to hunt water buffalo, elephants, but they’re definitely phenomenal and worthy of protection efforts in celebration of their own awesome traits!
If this documentary was released in 2019, it would be excepted that the BBC would portrate the number and distribution of Iberian Lynx correct. They are not just in Southern Spain. There are around 300 lynx in Portugal, with an already stable population in Guadiana valley and Alto Alentejo since at least 2017-2018. There are not being just put in Portugal in 2019. In fact there are no longer in the critically endangered status.
I remember that lynx kittens tend to commit fratricide, they kill their sibling. Usually the Iberian lynx can give birth to a pair of kittens or just one, but when 2 or more are born one lynx kitten will kill the other.
I think it's instinctive. Animals can sense that they're sick or something's wrong. Cats don't do this when they have all the resources (prey, shelter, territory) they need to survive.
The iberian lynx is one of the critically endangered cats on earth. Please save these creature, we can't save these creature then they extinct from our planet. The conservation doing people's are one of the super heroes of earth.. please save the iberian lynx 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@PossibleBat I think Bobcats are a bit smaller on average, but in general only the European Lynx really differs much in size from any other Lynx species. Also they aren't big cats.
