Harry died...of covid.

[heavy metal]

could be side effects of tony the tiger’s cocaine laced corn flakes...

Driving through Tennessee North from Chattanooga,late-night, intermittent rain squalls.
There it was just in front of the car and the anti locks screaming. Cougar/Mountian Lion, I almost hit.

From the nose to the rear end, not the tail.
The same width as my ford Expedition!!!
Guessing seven feet?

[DUMBGRUNT]

That’s an artist rendition

How do we know if it is an actual photo or not?

Also akin to your house cat, I think this is the biggest feline that actually purrs. If your house cat weighed 85 to 150 pounds you and the neighbors would be toast.

Harry died...of covid.

Oh crap!
That is sad.

Are they going to stuff him like Lenin?

[Steely Tom]

An ordinary house cat can jump two or three times his own body length, maybe more.

Just like all Yeti/Bigfoot/Abominable Snowmen, they turn to dust and ride the wind...

Pizza, pinto beans, and tacos do the “turn to dust and ride the wind” thing too. Are yetis eating that stuff?

[Pez149]

Looks like a kill there on the rocks.
I believe you can see part of 2 legs with one showing the bottom of a hoof.

Darn. I thought this was going to be about the Thunderbird.

[amihow]

Is that really a mountain lion?

Arizona has jackrabbits that can jump that high.

[DUMBGRUNT]

A chupacabra would be more exciting?

[EEGator]

This is close.

[EEGator]

Yep, they’re mainly gatherers.
Occasionally some mice and elderberries.

[CodeToad]

We have them in our area of Colorado. They often take noisy dogs.

One of my neighbors took this picture a couple years ago. I sent it to a university because I thought it might be a wolf hybrid due to its size & bushy tail but the university said it was a very healthy coyote.

[Jamestown1630]

There are long-ago anecdotal records of the ‘Thunderbird’ - even of it taking babies and animals. It’s become mythic in some North American cultures.

(Chupacabra will have to age far beyond its first recorded sighting in 1995 for me to buy into it.)

But who knows? There are all sorts of whangdoodles and snallygasters out there; and they certainly make life more fun and interesting.
