Humans affect the lynx population by invading their habitats with construction and the removal of trees. Lynx are hunters and their prey is limited due to humans hunting for sport and removing living space for both predator and prey.
Canadian lynx generally do not pose a significant threat to humans, as they tend to avoid contact. However, they can indirectly impact humans through their interactions with prey species, such as snowshoe hares, which can have effects on local ecosystems and potentially on industries like forestry and agriculture. Additionally, in rare cases where human populations encroach on lynx habitats, conflicts may arise.
A lynx could possibly kill a human but incidents of lynxes attacking humans are almost unknown.
yes they can they are extremely dangerous and stay away from them at all costs and if you happen to see on walk slowly away but you most likely will never see a lynx in your life because they are getting close to potential extinction.

Is the Lynx a threat to the human race?--> no Is the Lynx a threat to an individual human?--> yes, it is similar in size to a bobcat..which can kill you with ease if it wanted to. A Lynx is a threat to humans only if a human is stupid enough to interfere with a mother Lynx' young.
Humans are main predators, but sometimes indirectly, such as when we destroy the poor Siberian Lynx's habitats. Other than humans, wolves and coyotes have killed a lynx before.

Humans can protect themselves from lynx by avoiding direct encounters, as these animals are generally shy and elusive. When in lynx habitats, it's best to make noise to alert them of your presence and avoid surprising them. Keeping pets leashed and supervised can also reduce the risk of attracting or provoking a lynx. If encountered, remaining calm and slowly backing away is advisable, as lynx typically do not pose a threat to humans.

all spiders are venomous. but there are only two spiders in north America that have venom that can seriously harm a human, the black widow, and brown recluse, aka violin spider, and fiddleback. the green lynx spider is not venomous to humans though, but it does hurt to get bit!
The most famous one is the lynx, but humans have hunted them too.
