That was even more obviously a house cat (body shape, movement) than most “unknown big cat” videos and pictures.
I was last in Lower Macungie about five months ago for a friend’s wedding, so fake news.
So, the big cat is a … big cat.
Cat is cat. Film at 11:00.
Neighbor cat at home watching the news with his servants after coming inside:
Not a mountain lion? Can’t say I’m relieved. A mauling might be preferable to all of the persistent attitude from the smaller domestic dudes.
That was the extremely rare “long-tailed bobcat”!
Yes, mountain lion’s heads look a lot smaller in proportion to their body because of their muscular shoulders.
This recently happened in Rio de Janeiro too. Jaguar? Ocelot? No, house cat.
Recently saw my first in-the-wild mountain lion at night in Great Sand Dunes National Park (thankfully from in the car). It’s really a unique looking cat, and looks absolutely nothing like a domestic cat.
@airshowfan At least I can sorta see thinking a large house cat is an ocelot or maybe a small/young jaguar, from a distance.
