Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 A few weeks ago, I found this skull in the woods. The body was torn apart with just the hair and bones w/ some meat. I took the skull off of the body and brought it home. The hair was gray and the body had a long rat-like tail. The teeth look somewhat omnivorous. I am thinking an opossum, maybe a coon. The skull has a raised piece in the center. You will see in the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spikehorn11 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Re: What kind of skull is this? *PICS* The other white meat. Opossum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Re: What kind of skull is this? *PICS* I emailed these pics to a taxidermist, Pat Bannon of www.skullstaxidermy.com and he said that it is a dog, something like a collie. Now, I'm thinking someone hit a dog with their car or killed their dog and dumped it in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Re: What kind of skull is this? *PICS* I would agree with the others here...opossum! I don't think its a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christsavedme Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Re: What kind of skull is this? *PICS* JMO It appears to me that the eye sockets are set too high on its head for it to be a dog. I would lean more towards a opposum for sure.....never seen a dog with those opposum eyes before.... Like I said.....JMO. I ain't no detective!

fisherguy Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: What kind of skull is this? *PICS* I think that taxidermist needs to study dog skulls...they do not look like that. IT is way too pointed. never seen a possum skull, but that looks like the right shape and front teeth to be a possum head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
