Habitat selection is a key aspect of animal activity. Knowledge of the optimal conditions in which a species prefers to live allows for better management and mitigation of the threats it faces. This book presents a study carried out in the province of Madrid (Spain), in which the importance of different habitat, feeding and human infrastructure variables is evaluated for two carnivore species: the wildcat (Felis silvestris) and the fox (Vulpes vulpes). After an introduction to the problem of habitat conservation and the biology of both species, the objectives and hypotheses on which the study is based are presented. This is followed by a detailed description of the methodology used and the results obtained, as well as a discussion of the interpretation of these results and their consequences. This is a pioneering study for the province, and is of great interest to all specialists in ecology and animal behavior, and to those interested in conservation and in the knowledge of species biology.

How scary, a Wildcat – Tucson Arizona *PajaroAzul Vlogs
The species that inhabit this place were selected based on their population status. Priority is given to those threatened with extinction and whose habitat is the natural environments that are represented in the grounds of Montes del Plata. At present, there are more than 600 animals of some 60 different species.
Of the 43 different species, 90% of them reproduce regularly, standing out for their rarity:Yellow Cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata)Coscoroba Goose (Coscoroba coscoroba)Creole Duck (Cairina moschata)Seriema (Cariama cristata)Chiripepe Parrot (Phyrrura frontalis)Roseate Spoonbill (Ajaia ajaja)
One of the most endangered cervids in the world. It lives in herds of 6 to 30 individuals. Only the males have antlers. In 1985, the Uruguayan government declared it a “Natural Monument of Uruguay”.
It lives in family groups composed of an adult male, several females and their young. The male has black fur and the female has yellowish fur. Males emit powerful bellows at dawn and dusk.
