How do the larger mammalian predators in North America avoid competition?

I'm talking mainly about the gray wolf (and red wolf), cougar, lynx, bobcat and coyote. Since the lynx and bobcat, and the wolf and coyote are so similar, how do they manage to survive without one outcompeting the other? Different feeding habits? Different habitats?

Mainly because there is TONS and TONS of food. It also helps that in many areas populations of most of the species you are talking about are low and habitats can vary greatly.

For example where I live we have a poop load of coyote in most areas but no wolves and only a few cougar and bobcat in a very small area of the state. Even then most of the wild cat species we have are just former pets that either escaped or were set "free". Where we have bear in the state, again few if any cats and coyote population is lower.

It also helps that their prey varies greatly. Even though wolf and coyote are "similar" as you put it they have very different diets. You will see them both go after smaller things such as mice, rabbits, etc but you are not going to see coyote bring down an elk.
