TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Spain-animals-conservation-health" This file picture dated December 14, 2009 shows a lynx being released during the first experimental reintroduction of two Iberian lynxes in Villafranca de Cordoba, southern Spain. The Iberian lynx, the world's most endangered feline species, is under renewed threat from a disease that is affecting animals born in breeding centres in Spain, the conservation programme said on March 9, 2010. Three of the 72 animals in captivity have died since December from Chronic Kidney Disease, the most recent last week, the lynx Conservation Programme said in a statement.
