Key Differences between Lynx and Wolverine
- Facial Features: Lynx have a well-defined facial ruff, consisting of longer fur around their face, which gives them a "bearded" appearance. Wolverines, however, lack this facial ruff and have a more plain and compact face.

- Fur Coloration: Lynx have a distinctive coat of fur that varies in color depending on the species and region. They commonly have a grayish-brown or reddish-brown coat with spots or stripes. Wolverines, on the other hand, have a more uniform dark brown or blackish-brown fur.
