There are four living species of lynx:Lynx canadensis
Lynx lynx
Lynx pardinus
Lynx rufus
A male lynx is simply referred to as a "male lynx." There is no specific term unique to male lynxes, unlike some other animal species that have distinct names for males and females. Female lynxes are called "female lynxes," while young lynxes are known as "kits" or "kittens."
Yes, house cats (Felis catus) and lynxes belong to the same family, Felidae, which includes all cats. They share a common ancestor and are part of the subfamily Felinae, but they are different species with distinct characteristics and habitats. While they have some similarities in behavior and physical traits, lynxes are generally larger and adapted to different environments compared to domestic cats.
Wolves eat lynxes. Wolves are bigger than lynxes. But lynxes makes no part of the wolves' menu.
Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares. Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food. If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty. Too many lynxes and too few hares means not enough food for the lynxes. Baby lynxes starve and the balance is adjusted. JCF
A lynx's tail typically measures about 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 centimeters) in length. It is short and often has a distinctive black tip. The tail's length can vary slightly among different lynx species, such as the Eurasian lynx, Canada lynx, and bobcat. This short tail is a characteristic feature that helps differentiate lynxes from other wildcats.
The are both solitary cat species.
No, the Canada lynx is classified as a species "of least concern."
A male lynx is simply referred to as a "male lynx." There is no specific term unique to male lynxes, unlike some other animal species that have distinct names for males and females. Female lynxes are called "female lynxes," while young lynxes are known as "kits" or "kittens."
The bobcat, Felis rufus, is a cat, one of the family of lynxes.

It depends on the species. Canadian Lynxes have silvery-brown fur that gets reddish in the summer. Eurasian Lynxes have reddish or brownish-grayish fur, Iberians have Light-gray to brown, and Bobcats (which are a species of lynx) have Tan to grayish brown. They all have spots and or streaks of black markings.
No, there are no lynxes in Africa.
