The Spanish Civil Guard informs about this.
A local resident told law enforcement that a 20-kilogram predator was running around in the garden.
As it turned out, the lynx escaped from another household located about 20 km away, TASS reports.
The animal was caught and transferred to the exotic mammal rescue center.
The Civil Guard established that the animal was brought to Spain in 2022 by air, registering it as a domestic cat.
A case has been opened for violating the anti-smuggling law.
Earlier it was reported that a lynx ran into the territory of a kindergarten in the Russian city of Cherepovets.
