In the midst of some 200 hundred photos of deer, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and a male pheasant taken over a four day period by my new trail camera, were the three posted below.
While zipping through the night time deer photos I came across this one. I was very excited thinking that we had caught a coyote with the camera. Then I looked more closely and noticed its tail. Way too short for a coyote and the head looks too round.
In this photo I began to think it was our neighbors' dog named, "Munch." She is short-legged and true to her name, she's a plump, Red Healer. She also likes to explore our land every now and then. But then I noticed the pointed ears which definitely make the face look cat-like.
This photo was the clincher. REALLY looks cat-like here. Round face, pointed ears, and note the shortness of the leg above the ankle. Plus there appears to be spots on the fur that are visible on that leg. I say it's a bobcat. Any thoughts on this would be welcome.
BONUS PIC:
Speaking of mystery animals, there was also this rather curious and (as of this date) yet unidentified creature. In fact, there were numerous photos of this wild animal, doing everything from strolling up the trail to what appears to be some type of weird dance in front of the camera.
Could it be that this mystery animal was in fact aware of the camera? And if so, could it possibly be trying to communicate something to/with the civilized world? More investigation may be required to answer these important questions. Stay tuned.
