What animal is this?

[JPRambo]

Only one picture. From a cheap trail cam. About 40 feet from back door. Night time/ early morning so it's kind of a grainy picture. Max size I would guess is about 18- 20 inch tall. Camera is about 8 feet from animal.

Bobcat. Bring him in the house for a warm glass of milk.

The trail cam is showing low battery. So it only took one picture.
I wasn't sure but I thought a bobcat had a shorter tail. Thanks everyone my neighbor thought the bad picture was a mountain lion. Not supposed to be here according to DNR but.......

What I first mistook for a tail was actually something in the background.

Here in Vermont, The fish and game department flat out states there are NO catamounts in our state. And ...

If you see one, you are not permitted to shoot it!

We Do have bob cats. See then every year.
