Cars threaten world's most endangered Lynx

[Still Waters]

The world's most endangered feline species, the Iberian lynx, is making a comeback in Spain after being pushed to the brink of extinction.

But the costly efforts to reintroduce the spotted cat into the wild face an unexpected enemy -- cars.

The number of lynx killed by collisions with vehicles has soared since Spain's economic crisis began in 2008.

Last year a record 22 lynxes died after being hit by cars, up from just two in 2008.
