That Mountain lion photo is definitely from CA. They just had a bobcat photo on channel 5 boston from New Braintree MA late last week.

I really think the whole "feel" of this animal is "bobcat." What may be being mistaken for a long tail looks to me to be the back right leg and foot, which is blackish along the bottom. Look closely and the tail, short and stubby, is visible laying flat against the rump, same tan coloration as the body. Awesome sighting either way!

And the photo posted by Slickcraft, Senior Member, of a "long-tailed bobcat" is again, a case of the back leg being mistaken for part of the tail. Look closely.
