another thing, look at cougar's photo of the bobcat, I can see stripes on the side of his belly.....I said that bobcats either have spots OR stripes. regardless of a summercoat or not, the bobcat and cougar still have many differences. They can shed away hair, but they wont shed away underlying color, spots,stripes ect...ect..ect...

Oh by the way, I really don't know anything about the anatomy of animals or such.....I just like to say big words. Dont take anything that I say serious in the fact that its all just scientifically proven.
