The Lynx effectively controls the populations of other predators

Although it is known that the Iberian Lynx controls other predators within their territories, recently, a bus driver from Switzerland could record as a young boreal lynx killed a fox (link to the news) near the Swiss city of Schwarzbube.

Similar behaviors have been revealed with the Iberian Lynx, as shown by the images recorded by Francisco Contreras Parody (link to YouTube video).

The maintenance of biological equilibria in nature is the best control of predator populations, avoiding damage to hunting and livestock.
