Hi UserWEVJjASp, if you come across any other dead animals for identification, here are a few things that will help us help you: good sharp photos of the skull from above, the side and below, showing the teeth in as much detail as possible; photos of the lower jaw to show both the inside of the jawbone and the outside; details of the front and rear feet, and the tail. Knowing the fate of the carcass may also help in some cases, e.g. if it is one worth collecting or checking with a site visit. cheers
