Can someone identify this animal ? I'm thinking goat but it's not elongated enough.Southeastern France
It just doesnt have the long shape that goats or deer have
Also it has two massive side teeth
>>4908194It’s definitely something with a keratinous horn instead of antlers. The forward curve is interesting.
>>4908194Possibly an ibex skull.
>>4908196A lot of the skull is missing though. My first instinct is a goat with breed specific deformities, there are a lot of those, but I’m struggling to think of one with forward curving horn.
>>4908228The horns aren't facing forward. The front of the skull is missing, likely chewed through by whatever local coyote-like dog you've got in France. Jackals? Or a plain old dog.
>>4908228>>4908230Look here, the bulbous protrusion the horns are facing? It's here too.So the face of the animal was eaten.
>>4908230They're definitely facing forwards. We got wolves, boars, foxes and dogs
>>4908235No, I think the horns are definitely facing backwards, as is normal. Likely a wolf just dragged off a small goat. The bone sockets down by the base of the horns are where part of the jaw and maybe ocular muscles are stored, the eye sockets are forwards from that.
>>4908230You are right. The hole I’ve circled in red is clearly where the spinal cord enters the brain case.
>>4908240The teeth are clearly facing the opposite of the hole>>4908198
>>4908249There are no teeth, that's just the underside of the brain casing.The entire front of the skull has been chewed away. Parts of it may still be nearby. Anon, if you're still in the area, or able to go back, you should look around for teeth in the area.
>>4908254Yeah could be, it does look chewed up in the frontIts a bit far for me to go back but if an anon wants to buy the imp skull, I'll go get it
>>4908194That's the brain case with spinal forem>>4908196The skull sutures on mammals forms a T-shape with the vertical line of the T pointing towards the face, confirming the horns are pointing backwards like they would on a caprine >>4908198Those are the bottom orbit bones where the eyes were
>>4908194Goat>>4908198Those aren't teeth
Goat/sheep soothing of the like
>>4908198lol you're dumb
