Hi all,
Thanks to everyone that took part. Nobody, I’m afraid, got the correct answer, although there were one or two close guesses. This skull is, infact, from a mole. You can tell mostly by a combination of the size and the well developed canine teeth, among other details.
Thanks very much to my friend who found this skull and let me photograph it.
Better luck next time!
Hi James
I’m quite surprised this is from a mole! I never considered that as an option, possibly because mole skeletons must be very rarely found and I thought the fierce teeth should have belonged to a fast moving predator. Very interesting though!!
Best wishes
James
