stubby 175 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 from the look of the 1st picture, and size of skull against your hand, teeth arrangement its a meat eater, but teeth look too big for a fox, so I'll go with my guess as a dog unless its a big cat of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deputydog 68 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 i would say an english bull by the shape of the head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolfe 2 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looks like a badger to me.......? But the ridge (fin) to the top of the skull doesn't look high enough.....would be interesting to positively ID it............but i will still go with badger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arabian Moon 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 could it be dog or fox , I dont think the nose is long enough for fox, + the teeth dont look right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the ridge (fin) to the top of the skull doesn't look high enough.....would be intersting to positively ID it............but i will still go with badger. It does look like a badger but its neck looks a bit long in the 4th pick. Bite looks odd too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arabian Moon 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 The farmer recons it could be Badger, But in all the time i've been Lamping the land, i have never seen one. I recon that what ever it is, it may have been brough into the field by fox or large bird of prey, there is no fur or legs laying around to sudgest it was killed in the field. I also thought it could be a Bull Terrier, But it is a long way off from any road or houseing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jt750 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Last vertabrae to the skull what sort of joint is it ..I'm led to believe the badgers physiology is different to dogs and foxes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
