Why are the Canadian lynx threatened?
The Canada lynx is not at this time a threatened species, but listed as least concern by the IUCN.
The Lynx has thick pads on the bottom of its paws. For the Lynx, anywhere is quiet enough. The Lynx will crouch down behind a source of cover; bushes or ledges. It will slowly creep foward. The Lynx knows when its the right distance away; it will then leap and land on its prey. It will bite on the prey's neck or back, breaking the bones. The Lynx will either eat it then, bury and save it, or return home to give to young.

Is a lynx bigger than a Scottish wild cat?
The Lynx is by far much bigger than the Scottish Wildcat. The Scottish Wildcat has a similar appearance to a very large and well-muscled shorthaired domestic cat. Males typically weigh between 6-9 kilograms (13-17 lb) and females weigh 5-7 kilograms (11-15 lb).
The Lynx is much larger. Even the smaller species of Lynx, the Canadian Lynx, is still very much larger than a Wildcat. Canadian Lynx can weigh around 8-11 kilograms (18-24 lb), and have a length of 80-105 centimetres (31-41 in). The Eurasian Lynx is bigger still, ranging in length from 81-129 centimetres (32-51 in) and weigh around 18 to 30 kilograms (40 to 66 lb).
A bobcat typically consumes about 1 to 2 pounds of food per day, though this can vary based on factors such as the availability of prey and the individual cat's size and activity level. They primarily hunt small mammals like rabbits, rodents, and birds, and can eat larger meals when prey is abundant. During times of scarcity, they may go several days without food. Overall, their diet is opportunistic and adjusts to their environment.
