Here's why:
* Small face: Lynx have distinctive, small, triangular faces with tufted ears.
* Long tail: While their tails are not as long as some other wild cats, they are longer than a house cat's tail.
* Big, not house cat: Lynx are much larger than domestic cats, and they are wild animals.
There are several types of lynx, including the Canadian lynx, Eurasian lynx, bobcat, and Iberian lynx.
