Big bobcat or young cougar?

[Redskinsfan]

Definitely just a big bobcat.
Cougar won't have the black stripes inside the legs.

This was my observation too.

Totally fricking cool video, no two ways about that. Thanks for posting it.

100% positive its a bobcat

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Trust me its a bobcat.




<------ I should know

reasons why

1. ear tuffs
2. white spots on back of ears
3. black tail tip
4.spots on inside of legs
5.very small check ruff

plus that and after looking at tons of pictures of that genus when designing my fursona I can just look at body\head shape and know.

This.
My same observation. I was going to write it all out until I saw this. Bobcat.

A bobcat but a big one. Nice video. We've got a couple on my place in Brown county. I've seen only one here but we see many tracks and hear them on occasion. Thanks for sharing.

That looks just like a wild bobcat. I've had a few in my area, but none that big. Most of the bobcats i've seen was a little larger than a Boston terrier.

There have been some spotted in this area as well. A cub was found around Blackford county recently.

Mature bobcat, seen them that size twice before in the wild, one was 10feet in front on me in Perry Co. He turn and ran away. The other I was in a stand 14ft. up and the bobcat was 35yds. out walking past in Owen Co. on my property.

Where I grew up in MO, we would have called that a Lynx. Looks like a Bobcat, but taller and thinner looking with bigger feet. The one in the video has some long legs and good sized feet.

13 yrs Outfitting in Montana, running lions, bobcat and lynx. 100 % Bobcat, Nice male. Not uncommon for 30-35 pound cats, at least in north western montana.

Bobcat, No doubt about it! If you look close as the cat turns you can see the pointed ears and the tuff off white hair at the tips. Also the tail is way to short of a cougar!

Bobcat.

Could this thread just stayed down as its already been answered by the resident bobcat/lynx.

Now to start a new area of disscussion was the bobcat male or female?

 

[ghitch75]

male....

Anything for size comparison? Might it be a bobcat/housecat hybid? It just looks a lot like a bob=tailed housecat to me without something to judge size. Also, the feet are not really big enough for a regular bobcat. I tentatively vote hybrid.

Not a cougar. Too little make up and no plastic surgery. Sorry, I couldn't help it.

+1 for bobcat -- maybe MALE (based on size). Look at the color on the legs, tail, and ears
Good looking cat.

Edit: Sorry If I resurfaced an old thread that just shoulda died...

Looks like a huge Bobcat to me.
