jasper65 6 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 One's totaly different than the other and both alot larger than Rabbit or a feral cat! I have a couple of Roe skulls here and they're nothing like them although about the same size ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Jasper; I found a bona fide Muntjac skull =, on line, and erased the bottom jaw, so it more closely matches what we're seeing here. I can go back and get it's exact measurements if ye like too. How's this compare to either of them? Bearing in mind this one's perfect and your two have lost some of the lighter, nasal bone: Muntjac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie 11 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Jasper - you're in norfolk. i'm in norfolk. now, we both know, one thing we have in abundance here is sodding muntjacs. heaving with the feckers. (can you tell i'm not keen on them? ) that first skull is definitely a muntjac. i would bet my mother on it. here's one from my garden, i just popped out to get some pics of it for you (and got covered in nettle rash into the bargain. how do those bloody things grow so quick?!?) note the ridges on the skull running abov the eye socket, and the second hole in front of the eye socket - that's the scent gland. dead giveaway.
