Canada lynx
The Canada lynx (''Lynx canadensis'') or Canadian lynx is a North American mammal of the cat family, Felidae. With the recognised subspecies, it ranges across Canada and into Alaska as well as some parts of the northern United States.
With a dense silvery-brown coat, ruffed face and tufted ears, the Canada lynx resembles the other species of the mid-sized ''Lynx'' genus. It is slightly larger than the bobcat, with which it shares parts of its range, and over twice the size of the domestic cat.
==Taxonomy==
There had been debates over whether to classify this species as ''Lynx canadensis'' or ''Felis canadensis'', part of a wider issue regarding whether each species of lynx should be given their own genus, or be placed as a subgenus of ''Felis'', but the ''Lynx'' genus is now accepted. Johnson ''et al.'' report that ''Lynx'' shared a clade with the ''Puma'', leopard cat (''Prionailurus bengalensis''), and domestic cat (''Felis'') lineages, dated to 7.15 Ma; ''Lynx'' diverged first, approximately 3.24 Ma.
