MONDAY
An Iberian lynx is ‘registered’ in Esparragosa de Lares
It feels like home by Esparragosa de Lares. For a few days, an Iberian lynx has been visiting this town and walking through its streets as in its natural habitat. It is not scared and moves freely and naturally without being frightened at all by human presence. Such is the case that it has been photographed and recorded on video by neighbors on several occasions. In one of them he can be seen hanging around the terrace of the El Paraíso restaurant, walking quietly and accessing a nearby orchard to rest before the astonished gaze of the customers.
TUESDAY
Do not touch the turtles of the Guadiana river
Don’t take them home, don’t throw them in the river and don’t touch them. Florida tortoises roam freely along the banks of the Guadiana River in spring. Some overcome the gardens and end up run over in the roundabouts, others bite whoever catches them and all seek to lay eggs somewhere soft after digging a hole. Many of these specimens of ‘Trachemys scripta’ were 15 or 20 years ago on the terraces of the flats

Cornalvo wants to save the lynxes from the dangers of the A-66
The technical director of the Cornalvo Park, Ángel Sánchez, explains that three Iberian lynx specimens have been seen in the meadow between Proserpina, Cornalvo and the Mirandilla district. A very large population of rabbits has developed in that area due to the management of two hunting societies, Mirandilla and Mérida. The rabbit has been spreading and lynxes have arrived there. Now they are calm and are settling in. The problem is that the three specimens are on the southern edge of the park. Between the National 630, the A-66, the Proserpina road and the Mirandilla access road. There are videos of the Merida Country House
