🐈Iberian lynx

Lynx pardinus (Temminck, 1827)

وَشَق ایبری (به انگلیسی: Iberian lynx) و (نام علمی: Lynx pardinus) گونه‌ای از گربه‌ایان بومی شبه‌جزیره ایبریا در جنوب غربی اروپا است. در سدۀ بیستم، جمعیت وشق ایبری به دلیل شکار بی‌رویه، شکار غیرقانونی، گسستگی زیستگاه، و کاهش جمعیت گونه‌های اصلی طعمه آن یعنی خرگوش اروپایی که ناشی از بیماری میکسوماتوز و بیماری خون‌ریزی‌دهنده خرگوش (RHDV) بوده است، کاهش یافته بود. وشق ایبری تا قبل از اقدامات حفاظتی ذکر شده، در فهرست سرخ آی‌یوسی‌ان به‌عنوان گونه در معرض خطر قرار گرفته بود. اما افزایش جمعیت آن در سال ۲۰۲۴ به ۲٫۰۲۱ قلاده منجر به طبقه‌بندی مجدد این گونه به‌عنوان آسیب‌پذیر شد.
