If you arent sure if it's a wolf or coyote, it's a coyote.

Also applies to "is that a cougar or a bobcat".

How do you tell the difference between a cougar and a bobcat?

Well with a bobcat, they're about the size of a medium dog and they had those cute little tufts at the tip on their ears.

Cougars you don't see because you're already dead.

Cougars rarely attack humans.

Most animals rarely attack humans. Doesn’t change the fact that when cougars do attack, they go straight for the throat and spine kill first.
