After looking at the first pic I was cougar all the way and thought the guys voting dog were foolish, but after looking at the blow up it looks like a dog wagging his tail with black ears. Dog for sure. Mike

I think it's a dog. The tail is thick at the end with no black tip, but the base is pretty thin. weird observation...I looked at some google pictures and you can't see the 'pucker hole' on any cougars, their tail seems to cover it up  :dunno:

Sorry, but after a two week soak that's the only one of this mystery beast.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

That's just going to depend on how "furred up" it is.

Interesting.  Hardly ever see a cougar carry it's tail that high.  Unless maybe it was docked.  Sometimes the older cats will start chewing at the end of there tail.  Not sure why exactly.  Maybe loss of circulation over time.  It has the colors of a Cougar.  The black towards the head looks like it could be the color of a cougars ear.  I also see some white on that black.

I am leaning towards cougar.

Anatomical there is no way it could be a cougar. Cats do not have a "rump" because they have 5 or 6 muscles that control the movement of the back leg. Dogs have 3 or 4, and that is why they appear to have a "rump". This dog clearly has a rump as well as a busy tail, and the definite long hairs on the legs.  :twocents:

DOG all the way!
