Lynx typically ignore humans and are mostly active at night, so they don’t pose a threat to people in general. However, when cornered, a lynx may feel threatened and could attack in self-defence. There are also concerns about lynx and livestock.
All lynx fiercely defend themselves when cornered, and although they typically avoid people, they may attack a human if threatened. With its padded, furry claws, the lynx can quietly sneak up on its prey.
Yes, a lynx is most definitely capable of killing a human, especially a child or a woman.
Lynx, Bobcats, and Cougars
You can scare it away by spraying water or making noise. Bobcats in particular usually do not attack humans; however, if one does attack you, your best chance of survival is to defend yourself and call for emergency medical care as the animal may have rabies.
Again, ‘there’s no clear evidence of wild lynx attacking pet cats, in a few studies domestic cats have emerged within lynx diet but lacking any corresponding reports of pet cats going missing; an explanation could be that these are feral cats.
Domestic cat × bobcat (Lynx rufus): There are reports of bobcats breeding with domestic cats, but evidence of offspring remains circumstantial and anecdotal. Their interfertility is yet to be proven scientifically.
The lynx can also kill a yard dog, but usually if a dog gets attacked by a lynx it happens when the dog is out hunting small game and runs into a lynx by accident. Most often these encounters only result in a trip to the vet. The lynx also causes damage reports by attacking fowl and even cattle and horses.
Being a large predator itself, lynx have few predators, but lynx have been killed by wolves, fishers, bobcats, and coyotes.
In most cases, a lynx would win due to being larger and heavier.
“These are typically either a breeding pair or two males involved in territorial disputes. These territorial disputes can be more passive (vocalizations and posturing) or can become pretty violent.”

In a battle of life or death, a lynx might be able to kill a man, but a human, even bare handed could hurt the animal quite servely befor going down. This works the otherway arround too. But given that he places lynxes live, most humans nearby would rather have knives and guns as tools to survive the wild.
Today, lynx are listed as Threatened in all of the lower 48 states where they are known to occur. Their populations are especially vulnerable in Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and in Colorado, where they were recently reintroduced.
No, lynx are wild animals and should not be kept as pets. They thrive best in their natural habitat. They’re also not suited to human contact since they usually avoid humans in the wild. They also might attack humans if they feel threatened.
Bobcat × lynx
At least seven such hybrids have been reported in the United States, outside of captivity. In August 2003, two wild-occurring hybrids between wild Canadian lynx and bobcats were confirmed by DNA analysis in the Moosehead region of Maine. Three hybrids were identified in northeastern Minnesota.
Ocelots can be aggressive in defending their territory, fighting even to death. The population density of ocelots has been observed to be high in areas with high rainfall, but tends to decrease with increasing latitude; highest densities have been recorded in the tropics.
Weakness: Characters of an Innate Color take more damage from Elements of the opposite Color. As Lynx’s innate is Black, he’s weak to White Elements.
Lynx are powerful predators and have been known to take down full-grown deer weighing over 300 lbs., even though the max weight of a male Siberian lynx only reaches about 85 lbs.
The lynx is a carnivore. Its list of prey animals is very long, ranging from small rodents and birds to animals the size of deer and reindeer. Its preferred prey animals are hares and white-tailed deer. Game birds are also an important part of the lynx diet.
Being a large predator itself, lynx have few predators, but lynx have been killed by wolves, fishers, bobcats, and coyotes.
Predators. The most common predator of the adult bobcat is man. Hunters are allowed to hunt bobcats in some areas. Mountain Lions and Wolves are also predators.
Canadian lynxes tend to be larger than bobcats. Bobcats are generally 1.5 to 2 feet tall and weigh between 13 and 33 pounds (males tend to be bigger than females). On the other hand, lynx are, on average, 2 feet tall and weigh 18 to 60 pounds.
A hyena far exceeds a lynx in strength and size. It could quickly kill it with one quick bite which is measured at 1100 pounds psi, (more powerful than lions and tigers). A hyena is also very hardy and often survive brutal conflicts with others.
And unfortunately, it seems like some lynx have taken to attacking dogs.” Lynx and snowshoe populations offer a classic study in predator-prey dynamics.
Yes. Bobcats do attack dogs and dogs under 30 pounds are most at risk. The best way to protect your small dog or pet from a bobcat attack is to stay with them. So, if your dog needs to go to the potty in the yard, go with them.
