The tail is way too short and thin.  Bobcat.  I worked in a zoo after high
school and we had bobcat and cougar and I delt with both species in close
proximity and got a pretty good feel for each species.  In the wild I=E2=80=
=99ve
come across bobcats from CA, TX, NJ, and down in FL, which for one some
reason are really big.  I=E2=80=99ve yet to come in contact with a wild cou=
gar,
still searching, and every report of a wild cougar in the North East turns
out to be a hoax or a miss ID.  A few years back we had a pair that escaped
a zoo in Maryland and roamed the coast from Maryland up to New York.  That
was an =E2=80=9Cexciting=E2=80=9D few weeks.
