What is it

[gfdeputy2]

Bobcat if it were a ML I would think you would see a lot more of it as it would be not covered by ferns?

 

Cougars: adults stand about 60 to 90 cm (24 to 35 in) tall at the shoulders.^[31] Adult males are around 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long nose-to-tail and females average 2.05 m (6.7 ft), with overall ranges between 1.5 to 2.75 m (4.9 to 9.0 ft) nose to tail

 

Bobcats: The adult bobcat is 47.5 to 125 cm (18.7 to 49 in) long from the head to the base of the tail, averaging 82.7 cm (32.6 in); the stubby tail adds 9 to 20 cm (3.5 to 7.9 in)

 An adult stands about 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) at the shoulders

Here is a picture of another Bobcat placed in the original photo. Although the color is different, look at the shoulders and tail. Clearly looks to be a Bobcat.

I'm not sure if the pic with the bobcat added is helping or hurting the case! Depends what team you're on I guess! LOL Sometimes when I look at it, I can see similarities, but other times when I look at it, I think they're clearly different! Hang a deer carcass out there and yell, "Here kitty, kitty", and see what comes running??

 

I dunno..................

May not be but the muscle structure & body looks to me like an adult

Will Tell him Thanks

 

I would also suggest to your friend to use some bobcat call and gland lure ( if applicable ) near his trail camera. At the least , hang some flagging .

MTN LION!!! lol JK its a bobcat... BTW tell your friend to do a little brush clearing in front of his cam!!! we wanna see the head lol

Is there seriously a debate about this? It's a bobcat. Even a young Mt. Lion would be much bigger. That's probably an approx 25lb. Bobcat.

 

Here's some size reference for you. This is a 42lb Tom Bobcat (huge for a bobcat) and a 120lb. Tom Mt. Lion (average size for an adult male).

Some more help for you lost souls.

If it was a lion you would definitely see the long tail and the lion would be much higher off the ground, more like a deer. A lion would be much longer also.
