I saw this earlier. Any ideas?

A bit of an odd one. It's only a couple of metres off a path, an old railway line. Never seen, or smelt, it before. Probably about a metre long. Fairly small head, legs appear to be missing, but the spine is all in place and suspended off the ground. Plenty of wildlife around, including deer, but the head looks too small to be a deer. I'm going with greyhound/lurcher, but find it odd that no one has been asking about a missing dog.

Over to you.

What ever it is, it doesn't look happy,

Sheep perhaps ?

 

[Sol Ford]

No sheep in the area.

I've had a look at some skull photos. Judging from the teeth, it's not a greyhound or other dog/predator.

It does look like a deer from the teeth. I'm tempted to go with a very young one.

Muntjac?

 

[clatters69]

It’s a herbivore of some type. As has been said, it might be a muntjac. I wish that the muntjac which ate all my daffodil bulbs looked like this.

No sheep in the area.

If that's what happens to them, you know why

Dunno what it is but i want it !!
Gimme a shout when it’s less sqidgy and I’ll pop over and claim it 😜

 

[clatters69]

Good shout on the badger but I don’t think the teeth match. Badgers are stroppy little so and so’s with pointy teeth and a pointy attitude.

 

[Sol Ford]

I don't think it's a predator, there's no sharp, pointy ones.

Really?

I doubt the spine will be as complete in a day or two. It's visible from a path.

 

[Forsh]

teeth resemble a sheep

maybe some ones "pet" sheep?

'Pet sheep', this isn't Wales!😛
