An incredibly rare animal was caught on camera, and the photos are insane.

OutKick readers know there are few things in life that move the needle more than crazy nature and wildlife photos and videos.

That now includes some of the coolest photos you'll ever see.

Rare animal caught on camera in Spain.

Photographer Angel Hidalgo photographed a white Iberian Lynx in the Jaen's mountain ranges, according to EuroNews.

The Iberian Lynx nearly went extinct more than a decade ago, according to the same report. This is believed to be the first ever recorded sighting of a white Iberian Lynx.

It really doesn't get much cooler than that. Imagine spotting an animal for the first time in recorded history. I can't even wrap my brain around it.

I've seen some really cool stuff over the years. I can say with 100% confidence that I have never seen something for the first time in recorded history.

These are the kinds of photos that are never forgotten. Look at the beauty of that thing. Its white fur is nothing short of majestic.

You can also tell the white Iberia Lynx is very confused by what it's looking at. That's not an animal that has probably had any contact with humans before, and that's why it's not running away. It has nothing to fear.

What do you think of the awesome photos? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
