That’s a chupacabra.
Im calling.... Mountain Lion
Ive never seen a Bobcat...that wasnt striped myself
That ain’t a bobcat!...That, FRiends, is a Florida Panther, whose tail has been cut or bitten off in life. A “bob-tailed” panther IOW. Another example of bad journalism calling it a bobcat.
Awesome shot of Florida’s incredible elusive feline predator.
That’s a bobcat???? Biggest one I’ve seen! Looks like a freakin’ sabertooth!
you can see spot markings o nthe cat if you look close- but they are in shadow so it’s hard to see- bobcats In the south lack the fur northern bobcats have, and are likely quite tannish like the one in photo- the reason thisl ooks like a ‘really large cat’ is due to optical illusion where the witness called the shark 4-5 feet long- the witness no doubt was not nearly close enough to measure the fish accurately- the shark may in all likelihood by just 2-3 feet long - so we all went into the photo thinking the shark was 4-5 feet and immediately compared the cat to the fish based on that assumption
The hind legs look squatter to me than a courger’s hind legs would look- the squat legs more useful for short powerful bursts after rabbits than for long runs after deer and elk like cougers do
My guess is bobcat- like someone said, the tail of a couger is much thicker because they are used as a balancer and counterweight when running down large prey at high speeds
We got bobcats in PA that I have seen, and that ain’t no bobcat. Maybe a swamp panther with a chopped off tail.
