Tonight, while sitting on my deck watching for bats to exit my house, my daughter and I heard what seemed to be a LARGE snarling animal in the bush...it didn't sound like a raccoon but I probably would have attributed the sounds to a raccoon had it not been for the fact that it sounded like a VERY large cat...I googled bear sounds (we have them around up here in West Grey)...I googled raccoon just to make sure....and then I googled bobcat...I discovered a growl that was identical to what we heard...I have to say, if I were to guess the size of the animal based on the loudness of the snarls, I would have guessed cougar or lion even. This creature sounded HUGE. I would have even guessed bigfoot but I know there are no sasquatch in mid western Ontario...Anyone else have the same experience ? I figure that bobcats are somewhat larger than house cats...they'd have a proportionately sized snarl.
