Couger...

Post by dreamcatcher »

Just received an e-mail from my niece with a picture of a cougar that was apparently seen on someone's game camera in Georga. She said the picture is the Georga Facebook? Anyone else see this?

Yes, people need to learn the difference between a Bob cat and a Mtn. Lion. Just my $0.02

Wow, looks like a moutainlion. But where is the tail? Tucked? Or bobed?

Looks real to me. But hard to be sure with fuzziness in pic...

Thanks for look!

Yes, at first glance it looks like a Mtn. Lion. Then you see the stub tail and spots along the inside of the legs. The grainy pic washes out the spots.

A llttle dna would confirm a couger. I'd guess that vt f+w would like a sample.
