A caracal is a medium size cat that can be found in Western Asia, Southern Asia, and Africa. Caracals are also known as the Persian Lynx, Egyptian Lynx, and African Lynx, even though it isn't considered to be an actual lynx.
No, the black panther is a melanistic (black) morph of either the leopard of Africa and Asia or the jaguar of the Americas. It is not a lynx.
The lynx is an animal of the taiga, not the desert.
Lynx are very adaptive to many different habitats. It's rare but not unheard of with Lynx living in the desert. If there is enough water and enough food, a Lynx may den in the desert but I don't believe it would be for very long. Lynx prefer wooded areas.

A caracal is sometimes called a lynx, however caracals occur in Africa and Asia and they are not related to the lynx family of cats, which occur in America and Europe. The association probably originated because the caracal has long tufted ears like the cats in the lynx family.
Lynx prefer forested habitats with dense undergrowth for hunting and cover. They are usually found in boreal, coniferous, and mixed forests in North America, Europe, and Asia. Lynx are solitary and elusive animals, adapted to living in cold, snowy environments.
