Troy Taylor, an Alton, Illinois, publisher and investigator, has passed along some new photographs of a mystery animal that was seen for two days, around his town recently.

Taken by Tom Westley, Taylor notes that the photographed animal frequented the corner of Third and Langdon before it moved on.

Interestingly, stripes were seen on it by some people, while others said they were sure it was a bobcat. But most of us can clearly see something else here, and these good photographs leave little mystery as to what this animal is.

    My neighbor and I saw this same exact animal yesterday (Labor Day 2006) in Evanston, Illinois. Surely it couldn’t have traveled 300 miles from Alton to Evanston–especially in its obviously emaciated condition!
