Hello,
I was out walking in some broad leaved woodland today when I came across these remains. We have a lower jawbone, pelvis and rear legs, shoulder blade and forelegs. Ribcage was nearby but difficult to photograph because of the undergrowth.
I was wondering what it was. The leatherman tool is shown in a couple of the pictures to give a sense of scale. The graduations on the top are in cm.
Way too big for rabbit, too bit for hare I thought, and wrong shape teeth? Bit too big for fox, I wondered if it had been a small deer? There were deer in the woods, we saw a couple (of live ones) running away, as you do.
Any other ideas or confirmation?
Regards,
Duncan
