Mountain Lion (Puma concolor)Observer
ilanabacateDescription
Heard from my house. I suspect this is a mountain lion, based on one other time that I heard similar calls (in the AZ wilderness, 2005) and from comparing videos of mountain lion and bobcat screams on youtube. However, I've seen bobcats many times in my backyard (and neighborhood) but never a mountain lion, so I'm cautious to make an assertion and hoping some experts can weigh in. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera trap deployed so there's no visual confirmation.
