Lítio
Lítio, male lynx born in 2014 in the Centre Cria de El Acebuche, was released in Vale do Guadiana, near Mértola, in 2015. In 2016, after his collar no longer emitted a signal, he was found in Huelva. That year, he was captured and once again released in Vale do Guadiana. His new collar stopped sending out a signal in early 2017 and he was tracked down in the Algarve region. In May 2018, he was sighted near Barcelona. He was then captured and released again in Vale do Guadiana, where it stabilized next to a female.
