The scientific name 'Lynx rufus' for the Bobcat comes from the genus Lynx, a group of medium-sized wild cats, and the species name rufus, which means red or reddish, referring to the Bobcat's distinctive fur coloration. This taxonomical binomial is used to classify and differentiate this specific species within the Lynx genus.
