paulus 26 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Its an otter otter skull alleged big cat pine martin is also very simular Could be, bottom set of teeth especially are very similar. But we are talking the same family here. Could it be a big male Pine Marten. ? ive seen some very big pine martins Ive only ever seen one. There is none about here but my neighbour said he had seen one at the bottom of the road. I thought "bollocks" but a while later i saw it. The dog saw it as well and went after it but it was only metres away from the wood. I looked for ages for it but no chance of seeing it. God knows where it came from, i can only guess someone dumped it..? i dropped a couple off at the taxidermist the other year (road kill) surprising how big they can get, not quite as big as a dog otter but big never the less Quote Link to post Share on other sites
