Don't be to sure--it could be a juvenile. A young one would be more apt to investigate a source of food like that.

no, no idea. There are quite a few strays/dog packs roaming around here. He had a little buddy with him that had a very bushy, black tail. I only got the tail in the game cam though.

Young cougar they are moving and spreading out to find new habitat...

I think you're right!

NOPE!

What you have there is Canines-Animalis in its full blonde stage, known to have four paws and barks like a dog. Also looks like a dog and tends to respond to "Come-ear boy". Will eat dog food and lay on the front porch.

I thought these things were extinct. You do in deed have a rare species’.

Wow, were the fox and the 'possum in the same frame? Were they ignoring one another or was one hungry? It must be a pretty heavily traveled game trail where you have the camera set up. Very cool!

here is the picture of the red fox and possum together.

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.
