Hints for this Quiz

Think: "between two places" → entre; "in/on a territory" → en.

Correcto: "entre". "Entre" = "between" two points/zones. The Iberian lynx has its main populations in Doñana and Sierra Morena, so we say "entre". For more on the species’ range (Doñana, Sierra Morena, Montes de Toledo), see the species description; the preposition "entre" appears in the list of spatial relations in the geographic glossary.

If we say "in the mountains/in a region", we usually use en.

Correcto: "en". We’re naming specific regions where it lives: en la Cordillera Cantábrica y en los Pirineos (repeating the preposition is allowed or understood). For more about these bear habitats, see the notes on the Cantabrian Range and the Pyrenees.

Two specific locations → "en (X) y (Y)", not "entre".

Correcto: "en". We’re talking about two locations (manadas en X y en Y), not about the space "between" them. For mentions of packs in the Cantabrian Range and in the Sierra de la Culebra, see the note on the lobo ibérico.

"Within a territory/country/region" → en.

Correcto: "en". This species is exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula, so we say "en la península ibérica". Its exclusivity is confirmed in the fauna reference (águila imperial ibérica, exclusiva de la península ibérica).

Think of the location as "in the mountains" → en; we need "entre" only for "between two X".

Correcto: "en". We say "in the mountains/in the range": en el Sistema Central, en los Pirineos, en Sierra Nevada. For the typical mountain ranges for the cabra montés, see the species description (Sistema Central, Pirineos, Sierra Nevada).
