, consistently prefer Mediterranean scrubland habitat over all other habitat types. They also use ash stands but avoid pine and eucalyptus plantations. Not unexpectedly, the two preferred habitats contained the highest densities of rabbits, the cat’s main prey. More than 90% of daytime rest sites are in thick heather scrub. The presence of permanent water sites and relatively low disturbance by humans are also important components of high quality habitat.

, which is principally a predator of small ungulates. In Donana National Park, rabbits contribute 75 to 93% of the diet, but in other areas their diet includes a few other taxa. Fawns and juvenile Fallow Deer and Red Deer form a minor part of the diet in fall and winter, and a variety of small murid rodents, snakes, and lizards are also occasionally taken. Also prey on birds, principally ducks and geese, and red-legged partridge (

for several days. Like many othercats, they attempt to conceal kills by raking leaves,soil, and other debris over what remains of the carcass. In captive feeding trials the maintenance diet for a male is estimated at 912 Kcal/day compared to 673 Kcal/day for a female. Feeding solely on rabbits could satisfy these energy requirements with 379 rabbits/year for males and 277 rabbits/year for a non-reproducing female.

Radio-telemetry studies show that are primarily nocturnal, but there is a good deal of individual and seasonal variation. Radio-telemetry studies in Donana found that in summer are primarily nocturnal and activity is high around sunrise and sunset. In winter, were commonly found moving around during the daytime. In general the activity patterns are closely synchronized with its major prey, the rabbit.

Travel extensively and probably visit most parts of their home range every few days. One adult male traveled an average of 9-3 km per day over four 24hour periods; the distances traveled varied from 5-9 km to 13-6 km per night. Males traveled an average of 8-7 km per day compared to 6-4 for females. Based on radio-tracking data, the average home range size of resident males was 10-3 km? and for resident females it was 8-7 km?. The social organization is similar to that of other felids. There is little range overlap for resident animals of the same sex, but male ranges overlap female ranges. Occupancy of ranges is indicated primarily by scent marking, principally with urine and feces. They leave their feces at non-random locations within their ranges, preferring to deposit their scats at intersections of trails and roads. Apart from females with young and mating pairs, are essentially solitary.

There are surprisingly few details available on the mating behavior. Mating is thought to begin in January and February, and following a 63-73 day gestation period, kittens are born in March or April. Litter size varies from 1-4, but the most common numberis two. Females with young kittens restrict their movements to a small area around the den site: one female used an area of only 1-7 km® until her kittens were two months old. Young remain in their natal ranges until they disperse at about 20 months of age.

Few die of natural causes, some 75% of mortality being due to human related activities, such as shooting, poisoning, or trapping. Many are killed while trying to cross roads. After several years of unsuccessful attempts, new efforts are being made to breed them in captivity for possible reintroduction to the wild.
