The bobcat is Felis Rufus.

Yes and no. 'Lynx' is a genus of cat. There are four species in this genus. From largest to smallest. Lynx lynx - Asian lynx Lynx canadensis - Canadian lynx Lynx pardinus - Iberian lynx Lynx rufus - Red lynx (aka bobcat) I'm assuming by 'lynx' you mean the Canadian lynx. The bobcat is a separate species from the Canadian lynx. They share the same genus/family of cats, but they are not the same species.
The scientific name of an organism is made up of the names of all the categories that it belongs in.The categories are:Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.To save time, usually only the genus and species names are used.e.g. the full scientific name for dogs is:Animalia chordata mammalia carnivora canidae canis domesticusor just canis domesticus for shortsoo basically it goes like this ...... its based on the genus and species type
cat
There are eight classifications levels for all organisms. They are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Genus and species are the two levels that are in all scientific names.

The first name in a scientific name represents the genus of the organism, which groups species based on shared characteristics. The second name represents the species within that genus, distinguishing it from other closely related species. Together, the two names form a unique identifier for each species.
Genus and Species
The correct way to write a scientific name of an organism is to use binomial nomenclature, which consists of the genus name (written uppercase) followed by the species name (written lowercase), both in italics or underlined. For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans.
Two names (the genus and the species)
Genus and Species
Scientific names show the classification groups of an organism, including the genus and species. They are used in binomial nomenclature to provide a universal system for identifying and categorizing different species.
The bobcat is a feline of the lynx genus, Lynx Rufus.
