Forgive me for venturing into a discussion between experts, (which I defini=
tely am not) but I have to ask, isn't part of this animal's tail hanging do=

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0I agree Randy. A Cougar has a long tail which would=
stick out far beyond the nearest tree. And a Lynx has a more compact body.=
Therefore Bobcat.=C2=A0Yt, DW, Kentville
