[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Identify this skull

Posted: 2/3/2009 8:07:09 AM EDT

I did some exploring in the Portland Oregon area today. Look what we found attached to a tree along the trail... a skull inside a home-made wooden cage... OK, I give up.... what on earth is that about????

Anyone recognize the skull... no don't tell me it's your mother-in-law... I'm serious... anyone know what animal it is/was????

Well that is mildly disturbing. Is it a bear?

just a guess
a person left it there to have bugs and birds clean it. In a cage to keep coons and stuff from dragging it off.

What ever it is its probably being cleaned by nature for someone to keep as a trophy, i have seen lots of Deer skulls done like this, up a tree to keep Coyotes from getting it and in a cage to keep other predators from dragging it away.
I have never saw anyone build a cage for it, usually just on a high limb attached to a chain.

This or a very big mouse.

That's pretty freaking awesome.

And yeah, it's a coyote skull.

Not even close to a big cat skull, or a bear. Those are shorter and broader.

Canine dentition so dog, wolf or coyote. The orbit looks messed up, maybe from a bullet. Not a cat of any kind.

My ex mother-in-law. Probably died of rabies. That or she fell off her broom.

How big is it?

Song dog for sure. The cage keeps stuff from taking it away and lets the bugs at it. OR it could be a trail marker for the Arizona demonoid convention.....watch yer cornhole out there bud.

Yep, my conclusion is that it is a coyote. It's the only skull shape that pretty well matches the Google image searches for skulls of all the animals I can think of in that area.

Thanks for the help! :)
