It looks more like a bobcat to me as well but I can certainly see why you are wondering.The head looks like it could be a mountain lion.It's too bad you don't have scale in the picture,so you could judge the size better.Also the tail would tell you everything you would need to know.
I saw a mountain lion 3 years ago in NY while bow hunting for deer.It was at dusk but it was close enough that I could clearly identify it.

So unless you're ready to accept a conspiracy theory, there's no reason to believe you've caught a pic of a mountain lion. Go with go with more rational explanation.

i don't think thats a bobcat but who am i? im going with mountain lion... sounds more interesting.

Dale/PA

Wow remind me not to hunt with some of you guys. Enlarge the pic clearly a big bobcat. Black tips on the ears the white patch as well.

Hmmm not to discredit what Dale said but I enlarged it and by the looks of the white underbelly and white markings on the face, its def a mountain lion. I did see the black around the ears but then again, everything around the ear is black 0.o

Don't rule out the possible.

The markings on the ears and side of the face do look like a mt. lion. But it is hard to tell for sure. The DNR tried to say there wren't any mt. lions in Indiana also. Until a few obvious trail cam pics and videos turned up. They then came clean & admitted to an experimenal release of a few cats in central IN to help control deer populations there. I believe it was around Kokomo, IN.

Turned out to be bad public relations not telling people there were big cats stalking the woods.

Ya think! .

The DNR admits to the presence of isolated individuals but states there is no breeding population in Indiana. They are ambivalent about their origins. But they state clearly that they have not been stocked. To quote them, "The Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife has never stocked or released mountain lions in Indiana, nor does it plan to."
