Bobcat!

I was driving right by Black Mesa (in the Oklahoma panhandle) and this guy comes loping across the road! Big cat! was my first thought and I have to admit I was thinking Mountain Lion for a split second, but once I gathered myself I saw the short tail, etc... He/she joined another Bobcat and they headed toward the mesa. I quickly got my scope and camera set up on my window and snapped this picture. I've only seen one Mountain Lion and that was in southeastern Arizona. I've seen a few bobcats here and there, but mostly in Kansas. It's always cool seeing a wild cat!
