Lynxes have short tails, and usually a tuft of black hair on the tip of the ears. They have a ruff under their neck which has black bars (not very visible) and it looks like a bow tie. They have large paws padded for walking on snow, and long whiskers on the face. The color of the body varies from light brown to grey and is occasionally marked with dark brown spots, especially on the limbs. They range about 11 pounds roughly the size of a large domestic cat up to about 66 pounds. The Eurasian Lynx is significantly larger than the other species.
Compared to the Canadian lynx, the bobcat is generally smaller and although it shares many of the common lynx characteristics, it can be differentiated from the lynx in a number of ways. The bobcat has less pronounced ear tufts and cheek ruffs, a dark tip covering only the top of its "stumpy" tail, much smaller feet, and a generally more patterned and varied coat coloration. Ground fur color ranges from light grey, through yellowish brown to reddish brown and markings vary from "tabby" stripes to heavy spotting. In general, bobcats found in the southern parts of their range are darker and smaller, whilst cats in the north are usually paler and larger.
