Easy there fellas, let's try to stay on topic.

Chewed through the restraints did ya?

Hard to tell, but it does look like a puma to me. There’s nothing there to give it a sense of scale, though.

Looks like what I would call a mountain lion. Hmm...

[brytlea]

Well, and it also looks like it had some photoshopping, altho it could have just been because it was taken in the dark. I’m not sure.

[Joe 6-pack]

That's not a bobcat or lynx. They need to return to the area, and with a general determination of the location of the camera, and the size of the background vegetation, come to a pretty good approximation of the size of this beastie.

Looks like a mountain lion all right, but I don't ever remember seeing one with its tail down.

You should have used the words, “Big Cat”.

[hosepipe]

If theres pumas and bears the place must be crawling with Coyotes.

[Vendome]

[MortMan]

What kind of film did he use in the camera for bait?!? ;-P

[stainlessbanner]

Does the Isle of Wight have wabbits?

[brytlea]

I haven’t seen enough of them to know if that is unusual, but maybe you’re right.

some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk

[matginzac]
