Located the second litter of Iberian lynx in Montes de Toledo

Today May 4 it was confirmed the second litter of puppies of Iberian lynx in the mountains of Toledo, as a result of the work carried out under the project for the recovery of the historical range of the Iberian lynx, Life+Iberlince. This time it is a litter of four cubs of about forty-five days old.
The hatchlings have been located with its mother, Kuna, born in 2013 and released in December 2014, from the breeding centre of Silves (Portugal).
