Animals indigenous to Spain (Part 2) - but which you're unlikely to come across on your hols if you stay on the coast ... However, just a short trek up into the hills above the costas in Andalucía and you'll notice signs for "la caza prohibida" (no hunting) everywhere!
If you're lucky, you might even come across the lynx below.
The Spanish Lynx is a beautiful creature which, together with the Mediterranean Monk Seal (below), is listed as an endangered species. (However their figures have now trebled over the past 10 years.) The lynx can normally be found in Sierra Morena in Andalusia or in the Donana National Park:
Not forgetting, the Andalusian Horse or PRE (Pura Raza Española) typical of the Iberian Peninsula
btw The Spanish Black Vulture is the largest bird of prey
indigenous to Europe (there are believed to be more than 400 in Spain)
Enjoy!

That Spanish Lynx is stunning!
Elton watching is definitely a fun thing to do! He's a bit more conservative now but still fun to see! Love that photo of the horse -- and the lady in the red dress behind him :)
Sometimes I do, but mostly I just like my jeans and t shirts. I'm kind of lame most of the time!
Your posts never fail to be interesting…and entertaining, too! I'm loving the animal pics.
=)
Those are some really nice animal shots.
The lynx is beautiful. Love those ears.
The animals sure are wearing their fancy dress well.
Fancy dress is always guaranteed to break the ice!! We do have a rather big fancy dress box in this house :)
