Those who think it is a cougar--young, miniature or otherwise--should probably look at the GA location of the OP. This is not anyplace that would be in cougar or Florida Panther territory for starters. Apparently there is an abundance of wildlife but cougars aren't going to be part of it. I'd be surprised if dinahmoe were to even capture a bear on the game cam.
BTW, my comment inre to the dog looking like a mt. lion. If that animal were seen at a glance, running through the underbrush--especially with a chicken in its mouth--it could very well be misidentified as a mt. lion by someone not used to seeing them and with a bit of suggestion. It has the right coloring and size. IMHO that kind of thing accounts for most of the mt. lion sightings where they don't exist.

Just FYI, if you look at the western boarder of GA on the above map there is an established population of cougar. In the OP one picture does look like a fox, however, the tail in the final picture is quite un fox-like.
Folks thinking about -- Chupacabras -- no they have a tail like a rat or a lizard. :O) LOL
Thanks dinahmoe for all your efforts to keep us updated on your Game Cam!
