Lynx hei is an extinct fossil species of lynx. It was described in 2022 based on Plio-Pleistocene-aged fossils found in China. The cranium was found in Longdan, Linxia Basin and it is much smaller than those found of Lynx issiodorensis found in the same locality. The fossil material is located in Hezheng Paleozoological Museum. It is phylogenetically similar to the modern North American bobcat.[1]
