Taken w/ non-high-tech camera phone. Viewed from balcony during morning coffee. Research indicates that it is possibly a young mountain lion. Research also indicates that NH Fish & Game doesn't think so.
Was approx. 35-50lbs.(balcony view can be deceiving, when my dog is on the ground he looks super tiny), 2.5-3' tall, short tawny colored hair on back and face, black spotted underbelly with white-ish fur, small ears (we were so shocked that unfortunately are unsure of shape), long tail w/ dark coloring towards tip (nearly as long as it body...2.5' estimated), tip of tail pointed upwards slightly, very muscular legs. Made no noise. Face was smallish & pretty w/ pale yellow eyes.
Strolled from the east and stopped to stand on our a$$ rock (it is split), continued towards the west several feet, spied us sitting on balcony...eyed each of us slowly, and then disappeared into ferns @ edge of pond. All silently.
We are not hunters. What do you think?
