The '''Turkestan lynx''' (''Lynx lynx isabellinus'') is a subspecies of [[Eurasian lynx]] native to [[Central Asia]]. It is also known as '''Central Asian lynx''', '''Tibetan lynx''' or '''Himalayan lynx'''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Himalayan Lynx|url=https://www.wwfpak.org/species/HimalayanLynx.php|publisher=World Wildlife Fund Pakistan (WWF Pakistan)|accessdate=15 July 2016}}</ref> It is widespread from west in Central Asia, from [[South Asia]] to [[China]] and [[Mongolia]]. There are 27,000 mature individuals in China as of 2013. It is proposed for the Turkestan lynx to be listed as [[Vulnerable species|Vulnerable]] in [[Uzbekistan]].<ref name=iucn>{{IUCN |assessor=Breitenmoser, U. |assessor2=Breitenmoser-Würsten, C. |assessor3=Lanz, T. |assessor4=von Arx, M. |assessor5=Antonevich, A. |assessor6=Bao, W. |assessor7=Avgan, B. |last-assessor-amp=yes |year=2015|id=12519|title=Lynx lynx|version=2015.3}}</ref><br />

==Taxonomy and evolution==<br />
The [[Altai lynx]] (''lynx lynx wardi''), another Eurasian lynx subspecies, had been proposed. However, most authors considered it as synonymous to ''lynx lyns isabelinus''.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Guide to the Mammals of China|url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=ka-9f68nPT4C&pg=PA397&dq=Lynx+lynx+isabellinus&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjypfymuvXNAhXKuB4KHV96CT84ChDoAQg0MAQ#v=onepage&q=Lynx%20lynx%20isabellinus&f=false|author=Andrew T. Smith, Yan Xie|author2=Robert S. Hoffmann|author3=Darrin Lunde|author4=John MacKinnon|author5=Don E. Wilson|author6=W. Chris Wozencraft|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=2010|accessdate=15 July 2016}}</ref> Further investigations are in need in order to declare it whether as a separate subspecies or not. As of today, ''wardi'' is sometimes regarded as a synonym to ''isabellinus''.<ref name=iucn/><ref name=msw3/><br />
<br />
==Distribution and habitat==<br />
The Turkestan lynx is one of the most widespread subspecies of Eurasian lynx. In Central Asia, the Turkestan lynx live mostly in open [[woodland]]s and [[steppe]], and are also found throughout the rocky hills and mountains of the Central Asian desert regions. In southern Asia, it occurs throughout the northern slopes of the [[Himalayas]], and has been reported both from thick scrub woodland and barren, rocky areas above the tree line.<ref name=iucn/> The Turkestan lynx live in the Ladakh area of [[Kashmir]], the [[Himachal Pradesh]] and other Indian states of the Himalayas region. In southern China, it occurs sporadically throughout the Tibetan plateau.<br />
