[thumper523]

This picture was taken in Dade County, does it look like a mountain lion or cougar?

 

[shakey gizzard]

Nope, bobcat!

 

[Kilowatt 101]

Cougar & Mountain Lion are the same, yes it does look like one!

 

[DS7418]

[Wack&Stackn08]

[Campingman]

bobcat. what looks to be a cougar's tail to some is just the bobcat's front left leg.

Bobcat and I agree about the tail.

No way possible. It's sitting way too far back.

Just for perspective the road that it's standing on is a dirt road that 4 wheelers travel on. You guys have great points on the bobcat but I'm sticking to Mtn lion on this one!

thats because the pic is right before that leg is gonna move for a forward step.

there is also a gap of air between the bobcats rearend and what the "cougar" crowd is saying is it's tail.

Not sure if I see that area that you are referring to. Look at the tail once again. It's one fluid piece. If the tail stopped at the black spot then you would be able to see that and a point with nothing below it but air don't you think? I just want to know!!

 

[shakey gizzard]

Its not the front leg its all rear leg!

I don't know! But if it is a bobcat, its a goodun' He looks mighty powerful and thick bodied. I did see one cross Hwy 15 right before Rose Creek about twenty five years ago maybe thirty that looked as if he was as big as my Labrador retriever. had a good look at him too with two witnesses in the car. I also had a small one jump out of a ditch and land within six inches of my right ankle. My first thought was yes! Maybe because of the idea in the title was lpanted in my mind. Try it with different title in another forum and compare results! LOL

Bobcat...no question about it. I've only killed about 30 of them over the years and several of them were huge.

L.I.B. Shakey is right!
