hoffman, I see what you are saying about the coat. That to me was the only thing that deffinitely looked like a mountain lion. However, I think it's too hard to tell because the pic is so grainy. If it was sharp we would be able to see more detail. As far as the white belly I agree with you there too, lions do have white bellies. I think I just worded what I was trying to say wrong. Lions coats fade as the get closer to the belly going from golden to pale yellow and then eventually to white only on the very bottom. This cat looks as if someone drew a line from brown to white. Here's a pretty decent pic of a lion to compare whatI'm trying to say.
