At first look I thought it was a bobcat, then I saw the tail was too long so I thought coyote, and then I saw the tail is as long at the body. So now I think it's a mountain lion. We do have a few around but this would be my first pic of one.

If you zoom in on it the tail is as long as the animal. There's a clump of grass about 2/3 down the tail and then you can see the tip of the tail after the clump of grass.

I think it looks like a fox or a yote, but seriously what is below the tree branch?

Now that would be something, a mountain lion on trail camera in kansas, with a ufo above his head. What are the odds? lol

Small head, looks to be a fox. Lions don't have fuzzy tails. We have more than our share here in Nv.

It looks canine to me too.I think some of what you see as tail,may not be part of the animal.I can tell you this,having lived in lion country for 22 years,they really don't like traveling in the open.Not saying it could never happen but they really like to stay in or on the edge of cover.

I have seen where lions will even hug the edge of cover around a 30' meadow.Often,they will skirt the same side of the meadow every time through.

The body length is the red line and the yellow is the tail-

House cat or fox. Bushy tail and small. Lion cubs are short and stocky and spotted. Too small for an adult lion. We might have one or too mt lions in this state.   :mad:

Honestly, it just looks like shadows or a slight depression in the grass to me. Maybe the quality sucks on my end though. Do you have any other pics of it moving or the same dark shape on a different night?

How far out would you say that is? To me it looks to long between the front of its chest and back of its leg to be K9. Plus, the tail looks too long. My first thought was lion.

I downloaded the pic high lighted it and zoomed in and it's a running grey fox. There's a big light patch on the throat and under the chin and the tail flare's out.The head also says grey fox Sorry!

It's an illusion, caused by the doppler effect creating ground clutter in the shape of a fox.

I cleaned up the pic some for you. it is definitely feline. it seems to have a long tail for sure, but I think Mt. Lions tails are about the length of their bodies, this does not appear that long. Although,  Fox could be a contender, just the tail looked too thin for fox. maybe the new pic will help

Title: Re: What is this? (Trail cam pic)(NEW PICS PAGE 4)
Post by: Schmidtster on September 13, 2012, 12:00:00 AM
definitly not a cat...I'd say fox or yote for sure the way the tail comes off the rear end and the body shape is more dog like.
Title: Re: What is this? (Trail cam pic)(NEW PICS PAGE 4)
Post by: wapitirod on September 13, 2012, 03:43:00 AM
I can't tell even after downloading the photo, looking at it one way it looks like dog but my first impression of the head is cat.  I can't tell what the size is as mentioned because i have no idea how tall the grass is or anything else to use to size it up. I've seen yearling cats that were only 40 or 50lbs as well as 20lb cubs and 200+lb toms. I'm no expert but I have seen about two dozen cats in the wild and the head shape fits, unless it's looking directly at the camera.  What I'm seeing is it's looking past the camera to the right.  I also can't tell about the tail being too fuzzy because the whole pic is fuzzy but then again it could be my eyes.

It looks like a mountain lion to me. The head's shape is a perfect match. It is hard to determine it's size though as there is not anything that gives it scale in the picture.

Post by: Soonerlongbow on September 14, 2012, 01:10:00 AM
The cleaned up pic without the red line looks like a yote or a fox. With the red outline it seems to lose some of the bushiness in the tail though certainly resembles a cougar.

I say most likely a canid with possibility of a feline.
