Is it a hare of some sort?
I also hadn't realised are we allowed to search for references? I haven't really been using any I just want to know if I've been needlessly guessing.  |

Course you can look stuff up (not that I could stop you if I wanted to  ), s'only meant to be a bit of fun.
I used the references I've got and the web to ID some of them in the first place.

Blue hare, mountain hare, Lepus timidus, that's the one . The location was a bit of a clue.
I think the difference between mountain and brown hare skulls are fairly difficult to spot though, especially from pictures.
How about this one?

Blimey Steve, looks like an aligator!
The teeth look like a carnivore but the size says it must be an insectivore (or maybe eats slugs, snails, worms, etc.). The lack of any visible eye sockets leads me to suggest that it's a mole.
But it should be obvious to all by now that I'm pretty much just guessing!

P.s. I know moles do have eyes but very small and under-developed ones.
