TIA MARIA TORRES. Owner and Pit Bull Rescuer/Trainer. Tia Maria Torres grew up in Southern California and, coming from a broken home, experienced a tumultuous childhood. Early on, she longed for a family of her own and eventually began to adopt neighboring dogs and stray cats into her fold.
Lynx can be found throughout much of the boreal forest of Alaska and Canada. The southern portion of their range has historically extended into the U.S. into the northern Rocky Mountains/Cascades, southern Rockies, Great Lakes states and the Northeast.
The Iberian lynx was formerly found throughout Spain and Portugal and likely in the French Pyrenees. Numbers declined in the first half of the 20th century due to the decline of goat-herding (which helped maintain habitat for rabbit, the main food source of the Iberian lynx) and its replacement by grain cultivation.
