Bobcat Vs Lynx | Learn the Difference!

[@assortedanimalsonline]

Have you ever seen a bobcat or a lynx?

[@allencampbell8322]

Bobcat yes

[@assortedanimalsonline]

@@allencampbell8322 Indeed.

[@brandonrautell9028]

Two things: you never mentioned the differences in their pads which is a crucial adaptation of the lynx. Also, your statement of who would likely win in a fight isn’t exactly wrong, but it isn’t correct either. The bobcat is much more aggressive than the larger lynx, both when it comes to food and territory. Bobcats not only hold their own agains most Canadian lynx, they most often displace them of their territory. It isn’t until there’s heavy snowfall without trails that the lynx takes over.

In my 65 years, i have only been lucky enough to see one in the wild. It was a good sized male on a dirt road driveway to my dad's old sawmill in the small town of Goshen, Massachusetts. I shut down the car as soon as i saw him as to not spook him more. We looked into each other's eyes for a minute or two, and then he went casually on his way over an old stone wall and into the woods. They are elusive creatures. I imagine they have seen me in the woods a lot more than i have seen them.

We have a bobcat family living on our property, and I live in a city in Colorado, about two miles from the mountains. I've seen them with my eyes and with the camera that monitors my driveway. I'm certain they spend time in my backyard, which is large with many hiding places.

[@sherrykeeton9960]

Great information. I have seen many bobcats but no lynx.

[@triciaaw4539]

same as the without-a-doubt best way to tell the difference between a red fox and a grey fox. Red foxes can have a _grey phase,_ but that doesn't make then a grey fox. Red foxes' tail-tips are always WHITE A grey fox - slightly smaller than a red - can have red undertones in their fur. Grey foxes' tail-tips are always BLACK. If you see a fox, just look at the tail-tip to know what you're sighting

I saw two documented times where the Bobcat beat up a Lynx one was Wild America, I don't remember the other both times the Lynx with bigger but lost and took a retreat. Honestly I was surprised that happened a thought the first won was a fluke

[@LA-qh8bh]

Yes. There are. One regularly passed through our yard in Fountain Hills AZ at least 3-4 days each week.

[@LA-qh8bh]

Cougars/mountain lions range from west coast across to eastern coast of the USA and from the border between the USA and Canada through the southern USA border at Mexico all the way into Central and South America. Not quite sure how far south. However, I saw a documentary about Patagonia that showed Puma/Cougar/Mountain Lion there. I imagine it may become more difficult for them as jaguars range from at least Central America and South America for sure.

Actually, there is no difference, bobcats are lynxes, a lynx is any cat that belongs to the genus Lynx, the bobcat is one of four living lynx species, the scientific name of the bobcat is Lynx rufus, the bobcat is also known as the red lynx.

It is versus not vers. If you are going to have a pseudo-scientific information channel, then you need to have an adult understanding of the English language. Children say vers instead of versus.

[@LA-qh8bh]

@@assortedanimalsonlineThe sad fact is that correct spelling is not very important when using the I-net because of facts like keyword optimization. It can consider contexts and fairly accurately deduce what word(s) you are writing about. More impressive even is the levels AI is reaching and I wonder whether keyword optimization will be used anymore in the very near future… Also, consider how poorly American English is spoken now. People do not pronounce the most basic words correctly (i.e., “nuculer” instead of the correct pronunciation “nuclear,” and “realater” or “realator” instead of “realtor,” which is the correct way to say it. Someone began mispronouncing these words and others carried on mispronouncing them without questioning or looking them up. A great thing about the internet is you may easily find helpful valid resources that provide audio of word pronunciations that will help anyone learn correct pronunciation of words. Keep in mind that because countries other than the USA where English is spoken speak a version of English identified by those countries (i.e., British English [in Britain and I believe that includes the UK] and Australian English). For that reason one would not accuse them of mispronouncing American English words because their pronunciation is based on how English words are pronounced in their county’s version of the language. It’s usually best just to keep the peace if one is able to understand what someone says or writes. Know-it-alls or those who come across as such are usually pretty unpopular and undesired in most social circles. 😊
