Big cat roaming Detroit streets killed by Local Asshole with Gun, thrown in trash

[wild bird]

74. See the pictures I posted.

A full grown bobcat can weigh between 14 to 40 lbs. and stand between 24 to 48 inches at the shoulders.

The adult bobcat is 47.5 to 125 cm (18.7 to 49 in) long from the head to the base of the tail, averaging 82.7 cm (32.6 in); the stubby tail adds 9 to 20 cm (3.5 to 7.9 in) [12] and its "bobbed" appearance gives the species its name.[15][16][17][18] An adult stands about 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) at the shoulders.[10][19] Adult males can range in weight from 6.4 to 18.3 kg (14 to 40 lb), with an average of 9.6 kg (21 lb); females at 4 to 15.3 kg (8.8 to 34 lb), with an average of 6.8 kg (15 lb).[20][21] The largest bobcat accurately measured on record weighed 22.2 kg (49 lb), although unverified reports have them reaching 27 kg (60 lb).

Given that, I can see where someone not familiar with the species could possibly mistake it for a bobcat.
