Title: Help with identification
Post by: lumpyd on February 01, 2011, 08:22:51 PM: 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...... :chuckle:

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. :dunno:

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

Pretty much sums up my thoughts!
