Grandalf Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 As title. Found on small nature reserve next to my house in North Suffolk. I haven't seen the real article. Only the photograph. About ten centimetres long. Thanks - Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I'm with JD as the hair looks very familiar to Chinese a muntie just born would be about that size but the hair is shorter and finer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Nah, we shot all of the sasquatch before the lock down started. They are all in the freezer. I think JD is right. CWD fawn. That was my first thought too. The land is 40 acres of new plantation for a nature reserve. There are CWD, muntys and roe on the land. I'll tell the lass that the combined brains of PW have come up with a load of old squit and decided on CWD fawn as the most likely. (If it was an ole boy from Harleston then we would have found the web feet marks around the site. Nothing obvious found anywhere near it).

NatureBoy Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Normal for north Suffolk.Think there were several look like that, kept under the stairs, and ended up in a muck hill along the valley! My ol dad used to call any where north of Eye/Worlingworth bow and arrow country! He was brave because my mums lot came from Southholt way. 😉 NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a strong southerly wind I could hurl a rock into Norfolk. The local police now refer to it as Indian Territory but we don't see many of them this side of the border.

JD, I spoke to the lady last night and told her what we had more or less decided. I didn't mention in my post that she is currently half way through a biology degree course at UEA in Norfolk. Now closed down for obvious reasons. She said that she considers that the teeth are not those of a herbivore. I blew the picture up and had a look at the canines and they are small pointed objects. Are CWD fawns born with teeth like that or do we have to think again? Another friend of mine - yes I have more than one - thinks it is some type of dog. The area is close to the village so that is highly possible. I will see if I can get her to send some more pictures from other angles or get a look at it myself provided I can get round the current restrictions. (I have a disabled wife so can't take any chances). Thanks for the input. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Either that or a long dog like a Saluki. Not much else has so much hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I have now seen the skull and taken some more pictures. Will try to put them on this afternoon. Caring duties to do now. It is not a dog. Gone back to thinking a deer fawn. Now the type? Stand by. More later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Sorry chaps. Come against the usual PW problem. Every photograph that I want to upload to the site is too big. Can't be doing with it. We'll say that it is a CWD fawn and leave it at that. Thanks for the interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
