Lynx issiodorensis, Reconstruction Cladus: Eukaryota Name Lynx issiodorensis (Croizet & Jobert, 1828) Vernacular names Lynx issiodorensis, or Issoire Lynx, was a species of lynx that inhabited Europe during the Pleistocene epoch, and may have originated in Africa during the late Pliocene.[1] It probably became extinct during the end of the last glacial period. The skeleton resembled that of living lynxes, but it had shorter and more robust limbs, with a larger head and longer neck. As a result, the Issoire lynx would have more closely resembled a typical member of the cat family than do its living relatives. It was probably the ancestor of all four species of lynx alive today.[1] ^ a b Sunquist, Mel; Sunquist, Fiona (2002). Wild cats of the World. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 153.
