"the populations of the Eurasian lynx that reached North America 20,000 years ago initially moved toward the southern half of the continent" seems to imply they didn't arrive at the northern half of the continent User:Dunkleosteus77 |

"Tracks may show traces of the fur dragging in the snow around the track...Canada lynx tracks are generally larger than those of the bobcat, with significantly greater impression of fur observable" User:Dunkleosteus77 |

I did not find relevant similarities to other cats in my sources (there was a mention of the cougar being a similar cat, but it is much larger with a longer tail so not really worth including), but this point about the caracal is mentioned in a few. I would expect it to be so, such ear tufts are not common in cats, and personally I feel it is an interesting similarity to note.

I generally mention details of the social structure in the first para or two of the Ecology section. I feel it is more noticeable that way, I won't expect a reader to look for it under Home ranges. And there is not much to say about the social structure for this cat, so maybe a line or two at the start would be appropriate.

Not really. One describes what all the cat eats and its competition with coyotes, and the other focuses on how the hare affects the demographic trend of the lynx. But yeah, I think the Relationship section looks better if it comes after Diet. From Diet the reader learns about the lynx's preferences, and the next section would explore how the hare is pivotal in determining the fate of lynx populations.

Yeah, but I felt wording it this way makes it more explicit. Like it is not hunting for meat or pleasure. Do tell me if 'fur trade' appears repetitive anywhere, will reword it.

I think what's really throwing me off is how you described it. You said "To avoid severe population declines during the periodic fall in lynx populations, Alaska and most Canadian provinces regulate the time periods and fur quantity for trapping" instead of "Hunting season and quotas are set based on population data" which is done with every game animal in the US and Canada User:Dunkleosteus77 |
