Wild rabbits are essential prey for the lynx and two pandemics led to a 95% fall in their number. By 2005, Portugal had no lynxes left, but it was also the year that Spain saw the first litter ...
Wolverines often pursue live prey that are relatively easy to obtain, including animals caught in traps, newborn mammals, and deer (including adult moose and elk) when they are weakened by winter or immobilized by heavy snow.
