Default Fenney Bobcat or Cougar ?
My trail-cam picked up this video image not 10 minutes ago out here in Fenney. Is it a Bobcat or a Cougar ? Definitely not the usual coyote.

Perhaps somewhere around here a habitat has been disturbed? It looks like a bobcat. Thank you for sharing.

Couldn't make out a tail. I'd say bobcat.

That's a Bobcat.

I punched up the video some in Adobe premiere and you cannot see a tail. The hind quarters of a Bobcat are much different as well.

Depends on height - if you can tell from the angle/position of the cam. If the animal appears to be about the size of beagle or spaniel, then bobcat. If the animal appears to be bigger, about the size of a retriever, then mountain lion (or puma or cougar depending on where you are from).

After comparing to other Bobcat videos on YouTube I am almost certain it is a Bobcat.
