Mountain lion or Bobcat??

Recommended Posts

I need people to weigh in on their opinion of these pics if this is a mountain lion or bobcat. They were taken by my sister from her backyard in Marana and I apologize of the poor quality. She’s had a hand full of people tell her one species and mine is completely different so I’d appreciate all you experienced predator hunters opinion.

After staring at the picture for while zoomed in kept seeing what looks like a beard coming down the jaw line and even with the fencing in the way not enough tail to be lion so I said bobcat. I’ve only seen about a handful of cats in their summer coats so I’m definitely no expert. I wish she could have gotten better pics and appreciate everybody weighing in so far!!

Were the pictures all of the same cat at the same time?  The middle picture without the first and last pictures could be debated.  But the first and last pictures are definitely of a lion.

Yeah they were all the same time though her back door. The second one she edited to send to AZGFD:

Where is her house?
