Help with identification

[lumpyd]

I set up a camera in my back yard the other night and i got several pics of yotes. My question is what do you think is in the first picture? I live a ways from any of my neighbors and i dont have have a cat outside and my neighbors dont either. It looks like a bobcat to me or is it a coyote pup. The ears look like a cat and i dont see a tail. any ideas? Besides we dont have bobcats in this area......

Looks like you might need to rethink 'we do not have bobcats' idea.  White tipped coyote tails seem more common these days.

Looks like a bob cat to me, the ears and the little black tail and the size all points to a bobcat.

Do you know what happened to the last guy who cried bobcat?

The shape of the first picture does look like a bobcat but the ears dont show any black or white on them.  Every bobcat I have seen has lots of black on the tips and base of their ears.  The black tip on the tail could just just be the black tip of a coyote tail that is really blurred out. 

I have been seeing a lots of pictures of white tips on coyote tails lately.

I agree. Seen alot running away from me.

Id guess its a coyote pup because I see there is only six minutes between pictures. Although I have to admit it does also look like a bobcat. Hopefully you can get a positive ID tonight.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts!
