Bobcat

 are a species of small predatory cat found in Red Dead Redemption. In Mexico, they seem to be the place holder for Cougars, as they both share the same growl, speed, silhouette and overall characteristics only smaller. Due to these similarities, many players tend to freak out when encountering one or hearing its growl, mistaking it for an attacking Cougar.

Characteristics

 * Bobcats are smaller than humans, and are roughly around the size of a domesticated dog in the game. In Mexico, they have distinct, golden coloured spotted fur. In the United States they have grey-black fur and look much like coyotes.
 * Unlike stated above they have one significant difference with Cougars, Cougars will flee as soon as they notice you have seen them and they will only attack you when they're hidden from your sight, however a Bobcat will still attack you when sighted. Also, if they attack they will go for an immediate attack unlike Cougars which sneak up on you from the side when on foot or go after you when you're on your horse.
 * You can survive three attacks in a row from a Bobcat against just two from a Cougar.
