As for lynx...I would pay good money to have a close encounter with a wild Canadian lynx. I would LOVE to see one, and they're not dangerous to people. I've never heard of a lynx attack, though I suppose if someone were a raving idiot, cornered a lynx and tried to pet it.....but then, that's just Natural Selection on Stupidity.. Now, for someone's little pug dog, if it runs away from camp and the lynx happens upon it....different story.

Actually the bobcat is a lynx, just not the spectacular Canadian cat, which is much like the Eurasian lynx.
