Is an Eurasian Lynx aggressive or passive?

Neither. They are nocturnal, sneaky and solitary. They don't go looking for trouble, as they sleep most of the day. They hunt to eat, so for their prey, they may be considered aggressive. But around wolves they wouldn't necessarily be passive either, but avoid them at all costs. Same around humans and other large carnivores. Passive means, to me, submit, become inactive. Only when they are sleeping, I guess they are passive, but surely they find bushes and crevices to hide so they are not seen or bothered by others (which is an action).


Is aggressive driving and road rage the same thing?

Aggressive driving and road rage are related but not the same. Aggressive driving refers to dangerous behaviors on the road, such as speeding, tailgating, and weaving in and out of traffic, often driven by stress or impatience.
