Detailed explanation-1: -Bobcats are proficient climbers and will climb trees to rest, chase prey, or escape from predators (chiefly domestic dogs).

Detailed explanation-2: -Both lynx and bobcats belong to the same Lynx genus. Bobcats are the smallest cats in the species with stubby tails and distinct dark strips on the forelegs and tail. Lynx are larger and have a tuft of dark hair on the tips of their ears. Lynx have longer legs and bigger paws.

Detailed explanation-3: -Perhaps you have seen a bobcat in your neighborhood. Rest assured, bobcats do not attack people. In fact, bobcat attacks are virtually unknown; however, no one should ever attempt to touch or handle a wild bobcat or her kittens. Bobcats weigh between 15-40 pounds, which makes them small-to-medium sized carnivores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ocelots are smaller than bobcats and one of the most differentiating factors of these two are their tails. Ocelots have a long ringed or barred tail while bobcats have a short, bobbed tail.
