It was very deep. I don't know if bobcats are able to make noises like that but I've looked around for how bobcats sound and they always end up sounding very high pitched. I did not see the actual animal so I have no other idea of how to describe what it could've been. But hopefully that helps. Donna, it was definitely a low pitch roar.

That's smaller than a mountain lion, maybe the size of a coyote. When you say rumble, do you mean growling? or more of a roar, like a lion? Angel, it could have been a bobcat.

I'm emailing him to get more information. I run at least 60 miles a week on the fireroads and trails in the park and have for years, but I've never seen a lion, heck I saw my first bobcat only last week. -- Dan A good friend (we’re both ultra runners) spotted a mtn lion at the hub (5-way) junction up above the east side of the park in ’09.
