Looks like a Panther. Could be a Florida Panther, they have been known to show up in other states.
I don’t think Bobcat either because their ears are more pointed and tufted. It has the head shape of a Panther to me.At first I thought Bobcat, but the ones I have seen in the woods were shorter length from head to rump. Also, they have more of a shaggy mane, not a lot but more than what I see in the pict. Do I see a semblance of a tail?? A Bobcat has a nub, not a tail.
No, I don’t think a Bobcat. Maybe a big ass house cat but I believe that there is a Cougar.
We went on a nice long hike today with our good buddiesnow I have tired puppies lol

So I put a bowl of dog food out, I was hoping but unfortunately the dog did not return last night. I do however think I found my duck leg snatching culprit. The DNR vehemently denies there are big cats here, but this does not look like a bobcat to me. Opinions?

Hate to say it, but it’s not good to have a Cougar stalking around your place. They definitely will go after your dogs. Prob be smart idea to contact local Wildlife agency to file a report.

The tail looks normal for a bobcat to me? It's not supposed to be a nub like a doberman.@Rits could quite possibly be right.

Looking closer, it has somewhat of a Bobcat mane and it seems to have some spots/markings on front leg.

I just can’t figure out this tail.....




I so agree. Why kill something that has not shown human aggression. They are part of the natural wildlife and should be left alone. They are beautiful and powerful creatures!Many of the hunters got on to me for not putting it down but I have problems with killing animals that pay me no worry.
