The African lynx, a threatened and potentially dangerous species, was captured in a garden in Marbella after escaping from a house 20 kilometers away. The civil guards located the owner and found out that the animal had been acquired and transferred irregularly by air in 2022 from Moscow.
The feline, baptized 'Jakar' and about two years old, was transferred to the AAP Primadomus animal rescue center in Alicante. According to this center, the caracal is an animal that lives in the savannahs and semi-deserts of North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and western Asia.
