That site really messed up my phone!

Alternate headline: “Illinois mountain lion prowls for fancy feast.”

It's very stocky and short-necked. Almost looks tiger-like, but with faint stripes. Seems like cause for concern... *Unless the scale is just very deceptive and it's a house cat...

That's also the first thing I thought of when I saw this btw.

Just a normal news link. Not sure what you guys got going on. Didn't mean to go all greenhorn on ya.

Worked fine for me. Looks an awful lot like a lion to me… when the car passed it showed scale of distance. That’s a big cat.

There’s 8 confirmed lions in Illinois idk why they don’t like the thought of this being #9

 

[JustinsDad]

The stripes on his tail indicate it’s just a house cat. It does look big though. Maybe deceptive background or something

It amazes me how many people watch the video and still say mountain lion. It’s a beefy ~4-6 lb Tom kitty cat.

It's very deceptive. I have a 22lb male cat and that looks bigger than our cat.

If the guy wants any credibility, he needs to post another video of himself walking through the frame for size reference.

I can't make it into anything but a large housecat.

The elusive yellow tabby cat.
