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. Although it began to decline in the first half of the 20th century, the decline accelerated after the 1950's due to the spread of myxomatosis, a disease which decimated populations of the European rabbit, the lynx's main prey.
