| Observations of feeding groups in the Spanish lynx (Felis pardina) in the Donana National Park, SW Spain | |
| 1991 Mammalia (55 ): 143-147 | |
Usually lynxes forage alone. However, the low rate of interactions with conspecifics probably does not mean a reduction of the ability of each lynx to recognize other individuals. For this reason, in some particular cases family-related groups may gather as it happens with some more social species of felids, such as lions. Herein we report two observations (one year elapsed) of a family related feeding group of free-ranging radiocollared Spanish lynxes at Doiiana region, SW Spain. The family group was formed by an adult female, mother of a young independent female and a yearling male. |
