There's a pretty significant difference between a bobcat and a mountain lion. I mean, if it COULD have been a bobcat, it probably was. :-)
Unless of course it was mangled so bad from being hit that it was in pieces. :-) [Reply]

The wife and I had the awesome experience of watching a pack of grey wolves in Yellowstone park. We spotted them out in a clearing between two wooded areas about 5 miles north of Old Faithful. They were about 200 yards away and we watched them for about 15 minutes without any other idiots pulling over and taking photos. After 15 minutes, another car noticed what we were looking at and they pulled over and got out making all kinds of noise and then a couple more cars full of morons pulled over and the wolves moved back into the wooded area.

Definitely, but I was going 80 some odd miles per hour and just got the quickest of glances. [Reply]

I find it a sign of our good fortune as fans that these threads now appear in the last days of March rather than in the last days of January between the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl. [Reply]
