It would be very cool if it was a Mt. Lion. ...and this is a great idea. The picture is clear enough to get some pretty accurate measurements.
Montana F&G has this excellent guide. I think this should link to it.. it's a PDF so I'm not sure.

The "stride" of a Mountain Lion is 40" according to this site. I did see another site that listed a bobcat stride as between 23-27 " and Mountain Lion between 32" for female and 40" for a male.
