No you are right sproulman no one can tell for sure.... I did blow the picture up on my computer but it is to blurred to tell too. It does appear to have round ears on it and it is a big cat either way.. It did draw the attention of our wildlife officals as well who can not determine either way.. So without a clearer pic and a shot from the hind end as well who knows? But, one thing is for sure is, that it is big, andsomething that belongs to the cat family...
