Re: Slightly morbid quiz - name that skull

Well, everyone got that it was a mustelid but only one person got the right one

Step forward and take a bow....



The Woodman is our winner with polecat

(though TBH I couldn't swear that polecat x feral ferret is not a possibility)

Half marks to Venger for mink, very similar.

Comparison with badger



(Scale guesstimated from the spacing of the lines on the paper)


I believe that there are pine marten in Wales RobinP but last I heard the total population was estimated at around sixty individuals in Snowdonia and around the Aberystwyth area. Not that I've ever been lucky enough to see one, even in Scotland never mind here

Got a few left Nick and then there's the feather collection. Might start a parallel thread "Name the bird from one feather" could be fun.
