UKNOWN DEAD ANIMAL, What is it?

[MTCOMMER]

I was out trout fishing today and I saw this laying between some rocks... it looked pretty beat up, but I wasnt sure what kind of animal it is.... ANYONE KNOW?

[Lee Borgersen]

The head looks like ET after he crash landed years ago. Nice find.

[Woody]

You found Jimmy Hoffa!

[beeker]

kinda looks like a bear..

the best way to tell is to taste it. if it taste like crap it's a bear.   

[Fawkinnae]

I think it looks like an otter. Probably got into those mushrooms from the other post.

[MTCOMMER]

Yeah, I thought it could be like a muskrat or something, but I wasnt sure.  Those teeth throw me off...  It was kinda creepy though!  I thought it was the chupacabra!

I know, I was afraid to get too close, I poked it with my pole - thats about it!
   There are monsters running around the trout streams, lets hope I dont see an alive one!!!!

[kenhuntin]

You are a sick man if you poke dead Otters with your pole. You should have more respect for your fishing equipment than that.

At first glance I thought it was one of my x wives.  She had lighter hair than that and is still very much alive.  Probably a relative.

mt,

Hard to tell the size? the teeth and jaw bone are odd,to big to be an otter,not big enough to be a bear unless it was a cub,then maybe,what part of the state is it?

[22lex]

Dead coyote. That's my guess by the teeth.

[MTCOMMER]

Well, it was small, I would say the size of a squirrell - or a little bigger!  You can kinda judge by the size of the grass.
An otter would be my best guess, but I have never seen any otters around, we do have muskrats though....  but they have weird beaver teeth.

[Fawkinnae]

If it's considerably smaller than an otter then it might be a mink - basically a mini otter.

River Otter Teeth

MONSTERQUEST IS SOLVED!  Its a river otter (or a mink...).  You can see the little teeth on the carcas next to the big one!  

Im still going to say its a baby chupacabra.... probably killed by a big foot throwing rocks at it!  

[GRIZ]

I'd have to say mink after your size description. It's lower jaw doesn't look right(too big) for the rest of it's head to be a mink but after decomposing to that point does anything look right?

[whiteoakbuck]

bear cub look at the skull

[guythathunts]

I have no doubt in my mind that is a chupacabra. I have one on the wall and it is a perfect match.

[thunderpout]

Cripes!  You guys watch too much TV.... its clearly a baby skunk ape or a jersey devil cub ... COME ON!!!

[Sew Sille]

Maybe Fisher.??There head looks like a smallbear??

[hadams]

judgeing by the slimelooking stuff its in , could it be a dead alien
