Anyone know what animal this came from? It was found in mid-eastern Texas.
I've already ruled out black bear, coyote, mountain lion, boar, bobcat, and can't think of any other predators in the area that would have a skull this size. Two more photos incoming.

Javelina? Pige?
>>
>>5070823
looks like a pig to me
>>
>>5070823
Piggy of some sort
Those are not carnivore teeth
>>
yeah that's 100% some kind of pig, texas is known for wild populations of exotic animals brought in by ranchers, so it might be some african kind of pig

Actual retards. Pigs are carnivores and those large ass canines are 1000% carnivore teeth, but thats not anywhere remotely close to a pig skull. Fucking idiots, go google boar skull.

Ok redditard, here’s the skinny:
4chan is a casual website for offhand comments such as wild guesses
pige is a meme word that refers to all porcine and porcine-like animals.
Including you.

Have an ICE day!

Peccary/javelina. >>5070831 was right.

>>5070854
That looks absolutely nothing at all like the skull I posted.

They look different depending on age and sex. the teeth check out. looks like a damaged javelina skull, probably a young one. Boar tusks go outwards.

If you know of a more similar pige guess yourself
>>
>>5070858
Actual retard, get your eyes checked.
>>
>>5070875
The nose, width, and back of the skull are completely different. Check your eyes.

Oh you poor, sweet double retard. : (

Here's a peccary skull. Compare the dentition to OP's pics.
>>5070871
Peccaries have longer heads than boars but both are still porcine.

Armchair experts quick to deflect but don't suggest anything in response and are still proven wrong lmao
>>
>>5071146
You didn't prove anything by posting a picture a skull that looks no where even remotely similar to the OP skull. I don't know if you're shit posting or actually this retarded. There's no way a sane person with an average IQ could think those look alike.
>>
>>5071457
This will probably be a huge shock to you since you're clearly stupid,
But animals are not classified by how their skulls look

Because skulls look different between sexes, individuals, growth phases, and breeds

Hope this helps. Remember some dinosaurs had feathers and birds are dinosaurs
>>
>>5071457
>Still doesn't suggest anything
Look at OPs pics and look at >>5070898
If you have a better suggestion I'd be happy to hear it
>>
>>5071931
You're talking to a retard that thinks thylacines are a type of wolf because their skulls "have the same shape."
>>
>>5070823
my chinese scale says I am 205 pounds at 6'2 with 17 percent body fat and 60 percent water. I feel fat, am I fat?
>>
>>5071943
You're dehydrated. You should be around 65%. Drink more water.

these hostile OP threads are always funny, they're always rude right off the bat and they always double down after being called out as retarded. They tend to keep bumping their own failure back to page 1 day after day too.

>exact same skull shape
>the exact same number of teeth that are the exact same shape and in the exact same position as a javelina
It’s the same as >>5070898. A slight difference in the width of the nose isn’t diagnostic
>>
not a carnivore, look at the teeth
>>
>>5072698
>A slight difference in the width of the nose isn’t diagnostic
even a huge difference in width or height or length isn't diagnostic if we're talking juveniles vs. subadults vs. adults vs. males vs. females. vs. species vs. breeds vs. landraces vs.....

We got a schizophrenic creationist that loves to try to diagnose bones based on "kinds" and "shapes" while pretending things like teeth, dental formulae, sutures, bosses, ridges, fossae, and all the other little details that actually matter don't matter.

every bone thread turns into an argument with a literal retard every time. Has done for over a decade. Presumably 4chan wants to be home to retards that don't know shit. Which makes you wonder why anyone would ask for expert advice here if the expected any outcome aside from some retard chiming in with daily dumbassery and other retards arguing with him for weeks.

4chan is great for gathering stupid memes off literal retards, but I sure wouldn't ask for serious information here. That's just dumb.
