walshie Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Just took the dog for a walk along the river and lying on the bank there was a decent size (3-4lb) sea trout, recently dead by the look of it, but with no head. The rest of it was in perfect nick but the head had been chewed off, not cut. My first thought was otter. Is there anything else that would do that?

Scully Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 There is a theory that cats start at the head, badgers in the middle and foxes ( dogs ) at the rear end, or something like that. How true it is I have no idea. There again, I'm betting Otter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Possibly Mink? FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I think its an otter, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest they start with the head and work their way down. I remember finding a codling minus the head by an otter holt. wonder if you disturbed it before it had finished its meal ? Edit to say did you enjoy the seatrout ?

walshie Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 At least it's narrowed down to otter, mink, cat, badger, fox, dog, shark or gollum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Apparently they start in the middle so it couldnt have been a pterodactyl Edited September 22, 2018 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
