What about the Caspian tiger or the Barbary lion?

The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is a vulnerable species native to the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe. It was the most endangered cat species in the world, but conservation efforts have changed its status from critical to endangered to vulnerable. The loss of the species would have been the first feline extinction since the Smilodon 10,000 years ago. 2600:1700:8A10:54A0:2030:620F:73A7:7A18 (talk) 08:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's already in the article (in fact it's a direct quote). Are you asking for a change to be made, and if so, what? If you're disagreeing with the accuracy of the statement, then it's worth noting that the Caspian tiger and Barbary lion weren't species, which is what the paragraph refers to.

I think the species distinction is behind the question. The Iberian lynx is a species that is threatened with extinction. The Caspian tiger and Barbary lion are extinct subspecies as traditionally classified. — Jts1882 | talk 10:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
