What did this belong to??







A deer maybe??

Yep, looks to me like a deer skull. Not sure as to the species -- possibly Fallow or Sika? -- but it looks to be a male.

Cheers,

Well i did see these little deers in the area, they look different to the deers i usually see around.

Little deers: Muntjac, perhaps? To me, the skull doesn't look like that of a muntjac. These have prominent dorsal ridges that, in the males, continue on into the pedicles.

Yep they look like what i saw, 3 of them, about the size of a large dog (much fatter looking though)

I will have to agree with what you say on the skull because i personally havn't a clue about bones or deer

Thank you Marc

This is definitely not a muntjac skull. One of Fallow, Red or Sika, but I think we would need some measurements to get closer.
