Cougar Thread!

Damn. Lucky dog-and dude. Survey stake as an impact weapon wouldn’t be my first choice, but I guess it’s better than a sharp stick? Oh, wait.

I guess one nice thing about city life is being able to let your dog go outside by itself without worrying about something eating it.

Depends on where you live.

A friend took this video Feb 4 at 8:15 AM behind a donut shop in Hamden, CT. What say you? Cougar? (Not according to the Connecticut Dept. of Environmental Protection. They say NONE in CT.)

I'm having a hard time getting a sense of scale but it looks like a house cat to me. For sure not a bobcat.

Scale is difficult to determine from the video but it was significantly larger than and house cat.

Stride frequency is too fast for a cougar or larger animal. It's a housecat.

I honestly can't tell at all how big it is. It could be an escaped liger for all I know.

I’m voting for house cat too. Video does weird things to perspective, but unless y’all have deciduous leaves of unusually large proportions that’s a fairly small tree he’s walking around.




Here’s an example from our state wildlife and fisheries.

They went to investigate and found this.

House Cat. Moves like a House Cat, and look like Gato Naranja, to me.
