The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is so called because it's made up of links or 'Lynx' and, like the gorgeous feline - the Iberian Lynx - it symbolises, is shades of gold. The Iberian Lynx lives on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and is also known as the Spanish Lynx. It's the most endangered feline in the world today with a population of just 400 left on the planet. It was less than 100 at the beginning of the century, so things are looking up! They have a tawny gold coat and a beard which makes them look very cute indeed! Iberian Lynx's grow to about three feet or a metre and live amongst the trees!

Beluga Whales

Beluga whales are also known as the 'canary of the seas' because of the many, strange and wonderful noises they make communicating with each other. Their 'melon' heads also change shape as they communicate. Like Polar Bears they a dependent on the ice flows which they call home and from which they take shelter from Orcas and hunt themselves. With receding ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic Belgua populations are now threatened.  

Blue Whale

Blue whales are the loudest and largest of all animals on earth and speak to each other at 180 decibels of noise - a jet engine can only manage 140 decibels! With hearts the size of a Volkswagen Beatle car, Blue Whales weigh up to 150 tons (that's 30 elephants) and eat 4 tons of Krill, shrimp-like creatures, every day. They churn up the seas bringing essential nutrients like Krill, from down deep to the surface to feed and maintain all marine life. All farmers need a plough to grow their crops and the oceans are no different which is why we have Blue Whales, the agricultural ploughs of the oceans. Blue Whales dive to enormous depths and surface again, bringing with them all the wonderful nutrients that lie on the ocean's floors. We will lose at least 30% of the world's Krill this century due to climate change, and we've lost 90% of Blue Whales. Without Blue Whales, the world's oceans and seas would likely stagnate and with an lower estimate of 5,000 we may be in trouble. Once again we see the global food chain in peril. Our blue and gold banded bracelet celebrates their undoubted status as animal royalty.
