There is no such thing as a Florida lynx, even though the photograph in Google images called it that.
This quote below is from the article you cited. Lynx do not live in Florida. But they are cute little kitties compared to bobcats.




The Lynx genus, with its four species, has the largest range out of all the cats. The Eurasian lynx (the most numerous and widespread of the four species) can be found throughout Western Europe and Northern Asia, while the Spanish lynx (the rarest of the four) is found only in Spain and Portugal. The Canadian lynx lives primarily in Canada and a handful of northern U.S. states including Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming and Washington.
