They are mean! The males grunt and roar at night and will attack and force the females to mate and that's hard to hear. The poor girls scream almost like a human. If you try to grab a wild koala they will do their best to tear you up, and then pee on you to top it off! Of course if they are hurt or ill they look all soft and cuddly.
Kinda sounds like feral cats....
It's hard for me to think of a single wild animal that would be happy to cuddle with a human if it wasn't raised in captivity.
wow, such a beauty!
Here Kitty, Kitty! You are gorgeous! Probably dangerous too. But gorgeous!
Pretty good pic there
We have them around here, although I’ve never seen one.
The neighbor 4 places down and across has had multiple in his yard recreating in his bird bath.
They had to stop putting water in it to get them to go hang out somewhere else.
He wasn’t sure some early mornings who was more startled as he went out to go to work at 4am, him or those cats
I really don't think they are but they're very elusive.
Look at @Gelcoater waiting while everybody is scrolling back a hundred pages!Most of the time.

(I found it!

Oh sure, then I had to come across this one and young Elroy has a fascination with them....
Speaking of trail cams:
My daughters want us to get one. Maybe it can be on the Christmas list for the Grandparents.
We have a wooded area near here that is not officially accessible to the public. In fact, sadly, they finally put up no trespassing signs. It's city property, or park board property. My girls and I have built a trail throughout the woods there. Well, actually, the deer had done the majority of the work. We are just about the only humans to use the wooded area, but there is plenty of evidence of old trash, of course alcohol containers. In one spot, we can stand and look around and spot over two dozen discarded motor oil filters
One recent day after a snow, we took a hike and the number of different animal tracks we found was surprising. Maybe I still have the pictures on my phone. We also played detectives and tracked human shoe prints through there and out into the adjoining park area. Just one person had walked through there besides us in the previous couple of days.
The trick will be to get a trail cam that is camoflaged well enough and probably also mounted up high enough so that whatever people do wander through there won't be tempted to steal or even chuck rocks at it. Hmmm. Risky.

Any ideas what you think it might be? At least we know it's not a bird.
You'd love it!
It looks to me like deer hair. When they have a tiff those front feet can do some damage.
@JanS Okay, I need your help before I pull my hair out LOL There is a bird that we have here and every year I forget the name of it! I tried to do a search here because I'm pretty sure that it was you who named it for me a long time ago. And every year I try to remember it. Why does that one particular bird always slip my mind!? 
I thought it was Kingfisher but every picture I get from Google is some colorful bird probably from the damn Amazon LOL Just kidding but he's much prettier than the one I'm thinking of. This one is mostly black and gray and white. If I remember right, when he flies his tail has black and white in it. Does it ring a bell to you at all? I'm sure I posted a picture here at one point too but I'll be darned if I can find it.
It made me think of that particular bird because we have a titmouse bird building a nest on the little 90° angle of the gutter in front of our dining room. I saw him go in there the other day and my husband just saw him tonight. He said, it's not a sparrow. I said, I know, it's a titmouse and he said, A what? You heard me right it's a tufted titmouse bird! Pretty cool actually. Just an interesting little bird. He can have his spot. I'll let him be. Or her.
