Looks like it's pregnant or swallowed a deer whole? And some abscess or wound above the right hip?
I don't know anything about cats other than they creep me out like ticks and spiders LOL
Thanks for the video!
A stealthy cat looking for its victim normally a deer. They say they can kill up to 1 deer per week.
I've only seen a few cats in the wild since '65 but I'm sure many have seen me. Only had 1 encounter when I relied on a 12 g double barrel shotgun to chase it away firing above its head from about 25 ft. according to Eve.
At another time only a couple miles or so from the area north of Gang a hunter from a nearby camp was charged by a large cougar & shot just in time.
So some may charge/attack a person usually the smallest given the opportunity.
They don't creep me out at all. They are beautiful animals.
When hunting I always carry a large knife & keep an eye in all directions.
