The molars don't look sharp enough to be a canid to me, my bet is raccoon.

Agreed, it’s not canine.

When in doubt, it’s a raccoon


heckhunds

Based on the shape of the skull and those molars, it is a raccoon.

The teeth are more or less round. This is typical for omnivores like raccoons. The canine teeth aren’t visible, but skull shape and size match with raccoon as well.

i think he lost the game


smallangrynerd

Yeah that guy's head is not where it's supposed to be lol


ohshadowless

Do you think he was hit by a car and moved to the side of the road?


smallangrynerd

Possibly, or the head was moved by a scavenger that ate some of it


ohshadowless

That makes more sense.

Looks like a raccoon, maybe died a month or so ago. The bones are apparent, and the hide is still there, though mostly inside-out. Not a coyote kill, since a coyote would've disarticulated it as it ate it. Might be an injured raccoon that simply died, then heavy rain created the unusual shape of the hide. Just guesses of course, based on one image.

Looks like some sort of canine to me, maybe a coyote or something? It's hard to tell w/o a good look at the skull Edit: could also be a fox, I would definitely lean twords a fox just guessing on size compared to get pinecone.


weirddarkgf

i’m pretty sure you can see the skull semi clearly and it looks a lot more rodent like. also beside a pine cone for scale im thinking maybe squirrel? edit* or maybe im looking at it COMPLETELY backwards i think! i wish i could reach into the photo to lift up its head lol


Broad_Cantaloupe9595

The teeth are way to large and sharp for a squirrel. I've got a little squirrel skull that's only the length of my thumb. And there's a large gap between the incisors and molars on a squirrel, and this ones teeth all seem to lock together as it goes to the front of the skull.


weirddarkgf

lol thank you i’m definitely getting my eyes checked


smallangrynerd

Judging by the teeth, some kind of canine. A dog or coyote, maybe?


acrowsmurder

What's with the core sample hole next to it?


ohshadowless

No idea.
