A radio-collared lynx
named Milvus easily
leaps a fence into a
rabbit research area run
by WWF Spain in east-

Staff later fortified the
fence with electricity


to block Milvus—and

photographer Sergio
Mari juán describes them.
An adult lynx needs to
eat a rabbit a day to
survive; a mother with
kittens needs three.
