Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: In October 2025, Spanish photographer Ángel Hidalgo did indeed capture the first-ever documented video and photographs of a leucistic (white) Iberian lynx in the Jaén mountains of Andalusia, Spain. Note that the transcript's 'lasiurine' and 'Licastic' are just mistranscriptions of 'leucistic', which is a genetic condition causing partial loss of pigmentation. 📸🐆
