I was just forwarded this short Youtube video from the Lake Wilson MTB race I did a couple days ago. I guess a mountain lion was hanging out by the trail and when Kalan went by, he scared it before I got there. The video shows it running away through the grass. It also shows how badly I was riding, dabbing, one of lots of times, during the race. I remember that spot. A wind gust came, blew me a little sideways and my wheel slipped. It is weird how the mind works. It was super windy. Anyway, here it is.
That’s a bobcat…. if it were a mountain lion it would have a long tail
coyote can tell by its gait
Yup, pretty sure by the gait it was a coyote, also can just see a bushy tail at one point.
Coyote.
Gait looked like a coyote. I doubt a bike rider would scare a Mountain lion enough to run like that. Maybe dogs could get them to run, but the ones I have seen in the wild were more like bears and pretty much held their ground to a human. Big cats worry me on the mtb. cause they will see you way before you see them.
While I would believe a mountain lion in that part of Kansas, the gait and bushy tail looks like a coyote.
its tucker running home… loosing his mind having to hang out at another bike race..
I nearly hit a big-ass mountain lion driving through Stull once. Pretty amazing.
I live in the boonies in the Flint Hills. We see coyotes several times/week on our property (listen to them every single night). That is most definitely a coyote.
hey dumb shit, learn how to spell!
Yup, Coyote
I agree ,,,, Coyote !!!!
