The Aug. 20 "Mark Trail" comic strip continued the series' descent into awfulness. The scruffy replacement for the original Mark Trail tells us that bobcats and lynx are the same species. They aren't, which a simple internet search will tell you. They are the same genus, which is Lynx, but bobcats are Lynx rufus and lynx are Lynx canadensis.
The lynx's home territory is Canada and the northern United States, while the bobcat lives mainly in the United States with an extension into southern Canada and northern Mexico. There are apparently two other species of Lynx: one that lives in Europe and Asia, and one that lives in Spain and Portugal.
