Current presence of the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) in the Province of Granada
1998  Galemys (10): 47-52

The present works confirmes the current presence of the Iberian lynx in two population nuclei in the Province of Granada. Between May 1996 and March 1998, 52 UTM squares of 5x5 were surveyed, 33 in the Subbetical mountains and 19 in the Granadian coastal mountains, localizing four tracks to which three locations with footprints accompanied by photographs have to be added. Three tracks were localized in the Subbetical mountains and four in the coastal. The data obtained extend the distribution area previously suggested, emphasizing the extension of the coastal population to the Sierra de la Almijira in Malaga, a province where the lynx was considered to be extinct.
