It is domestic. There are cats shaped just like that

Im a little late to the game on this article, but I don’t think that the animal’s height relative to the grass can really be ussed to disqualify it. Im from Georgia, that kind of grass here gets pretty tall in fields. I think this is a young Puma. Not a baby per se, but maybe a young adult. It’s amazing what can hide around here, in my (very developed) neighborhood we have coyotes living, literally, in people’s backyards, without people ever realizing. My sister and I actually watched a coyote walk up behind a man taking out his trash without the man ever seeing the coyote. There’s no reason a small population of pumas couldn’t be living out in the wilds of Southern Georgia.

Looks to me like its a young Panther. Just because it has that V shape on its face doesn’t it can’t be a Panther with a genetic deformity.

To Roddy Hays :

You are right, it is worth to mention. It could be also a recent relative of Miracinonyx inexpectatus or indeed itself. In any case this animal is related to Puma.

It’s an onza. Probably on holiday, but still an onza.

(well, it was worth a mention….)

Yea the shape and pose of the ‘mystery animal’ almost perfectly match the puma in the 2nd photo.
It’s ears are way too big and triangular to be a jaguarundi.

To Tarzanboyy :

To me the shape of the ears is almost the same as the one shown on the second photo of this article portraying a Puma.

Could it be a cub?

I would comment, but once again DWA captured my thoughts perfectly.

The face shape is right for a cougar, but the shape of the ears and the size relative to the grass suggests a domestic cat. I’m not sure. I could go 50/50 on this. If it’s a cougar, it’s a small one.
Definitely not a jaguarundi or a fox.
