Man (79) arrested for offering rare cats head

The Spanish police arrested a man in Valencia who offered the head of an Iberian lynx for sale on the internet.

It is unclear how the man had come to the head of the lynx. He also had a gun for which he had no license. It is not known whether he used this weapon to shoot the Iberian lynx.

Until recently the Iberian lynx only existed in some remote areas in southern Spain. He probably disappeared from Portugal, but he recently returned there, according to the website of the World Wildlife Fund. The total number of animals was estimated at 475 last February.
