There are four different species belonging to this group(lynx) -- three of which share the family name: the Eurasian lynx, the Spanish (or Iberian) lynx and the Canadian lynx. The fourth member, the most common cat native to North America, is the previously mentioned bobcat.(https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/bobcat-vs-lynx.htm? )
1.While a lynx and a bobcat are very similar in appearance, lynx are a little bigger, have a hairy face, and a plain coat of grey compared to the mottled fur of a bobcat.
2.Lynx live in the forests of Europe, northern Asia, and Canada while bobcats thrive in almost every environment in the United States.
3.Lynx will hunt rabbits nearly exclusively but bobcats vary their diets with creatures large and small.
4.Bobcats are more aggressive than lynx.(http://www.differencebetween.net/science/nature/difference-between-lynx-and-bobcat/#ixzz55XDVqPIS)
