A couple years ago, I heard screeming outside, really fucking load noise! Or atleast I thought it was screeming, I looked out the window and there was this large dog/cat looking animal in the road.

It then came down the yard which is about 200 feet long in a matter of seconds and stopped just outside my window.

Wasn't a fox, it was too big.
Wasn't a cayote, it had a square shaped snout.

I'm still trying to figure out what it could have been, and my only ideas are Canadian Lynx or a Cougar.

Either way I wish it would came back (as crazy as that sounds) So I could get a video or picture of it.
