Best Answer

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.
