Canadian Lynx
The Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a North American mammal of the
cat family, Felidae. It is a close relative of the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx
lynx). Some authorities regard both as conspecific. However, in some
characteristics the Canadian Lynx is more similar to the Bobcat (Lynx
rufus) than to the Eurasian Lynx. With the recognized subspecies, it
ranges across Canada and into Alaska as well as some parts of the
northern United States.
With a dense silvery-brown coat, ruffed face and tufted ears, the
Canadian Lynx resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus.
It is larger than the Bobcat, with whom it shares parts of its range,
and over twice the size of the domestic cat.
