BIONIC ROOSTER!!!!!!! , All I know is this, If I were to takeLIVBUCKS photo into"ANYONE" that has seen both a bobcat and mountain lion, they would automatically say that it is a mountain lion. you know why? because of the way that it is built. A mountain lion and bobcats have a whole different stature.
Do you think the pictures of the mountain lions that (I) posted are real mountain lions? you would say yes. Why would you say yes? Do you think that this is a mountain lion or bobcat?
how about this one?

or this?
the last picture was from garyln zoo and its a mountain lion.
can you see there tails, how would you knowits a mountain lion ifyou can't see their tails? how would you know if you can't see if they have spots, or if they are one solid color?
The fact remains thateveryone in here (at first glance)would believe that these photos were all mountain lions(including LIV buck's photo)>>>>>>Thats atleast untill someone claimed that the picture was taken in pennsylvania.
It would be at that moment that everyone would start saying, " it has a summer coat" ,"eastern bobcats have less spots",or "a bobcat can be all one color" (just like matt's photo) or "you can't see his tail or atleast very little of it.
so what do you guys think? No one in here can say for sure if these (3) photos up above are of mountain lions can they? Especially if you go with (YOUR OWN) rules like(cant see the tail, could be summer coat, eastern bobcats have little if anyspots, summer coats have all one color.)
All these exceptionscould apply to the mountain lions above, and I assure you , (those are mountain lion photos)just like the cat in livbuck's photo is a mountain lion too.
Inever said that there are mountain lions in pennsylvania personally ( I THINK IT COULD ALL BE A BUNCH OFBULL ****) but I know a mountain lion when I see one---- just like all of you in here do to. None of you would deny the pics above just because you can't see their tails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bionicrooster, is the top pic (largest one) a bob cat or mountain lion....how would you know...if you can't see the tail? If that's your only way of determining a bobcat then thats pretty sad, because I can tell that the top pic is of a mountain lion...and so could a fifth grader. (you just can tell by its overall size and structure.)
