Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is the only wild mammal so far recorded
on the Tioxide site, where, from droppings and other signs, it
is apparently common. There is however, potential for other species
to occur in the future since at least 49 species of mammls have
been
recorded in Andalusia (Mountfort 1958). However, of these 14 are
bats the distribution of which is unclear, and some such as the
Wolf (Canus lupus) are rare or like Barbary Ape (Macaca sylvanus),
which
is only found on Gibraltar, have a very restricted range. Nevertheless,
even some rare species, such as the Spanish Lynx (Felis pardina)
has been recorded in the Odiel Marsh area.
