I spent the rest of that night listening to wave files of
wildlife, and I can tell you that I heard the 'impossible'. I heard a
mountain lion, not a bobcat. There are not supposed to be any
cougars/panthers/mountain lions around here, according to the DNR.
They say that here, too, but many people have seen/heard them. The sound,
from what I understand, is so identifiable that it can't be anything else.
A few years ago, we awoke to the oddest animal sound I've ever heard. I
sounded like a woman screaming, but not quite human. I think it was a North
American Marten, or Fisher Cat as they are called here.
