A lot of meat gone
If that were in Africa, the prime suspects would also be big cats. Leopard, but not usually during the day. Lion, but you would have heard something. Lynx?
But whatever it was, it ate a lot of meat, so over here we would rule out a juvenile. That was quality muscle that needed tearing into bite sized chunks then eaten. Here that would have meant a cat over 90 lbs.Of course, our cats are very happy to eat rotting meat. In fact leopards prefer it and lion have no problem with it. This may make them slower eaters. They are both happy to return to the kill. I am surprised there were no pug marks, especially where the animal was dragged.
