storm in a teacup Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Does anyone know what the skull is in the left of the pictures. My son found it while walking the dogs and he has asked me to id it. The one on the right is a sheep skull he previously found. I'm stumped.

ClemFandango Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Left looks like a roe doe. Right looks like a sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm in a teacup Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I thought it might be a deer as he found it in the woods. But I'm not that clued up on deer having never been close to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The small one is a roe doe I believe and quite an old one by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatureBoy Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Nice find. Looks in good nick! I often wonder why we don't find more with all the deer about? I thought maybe foxes and badgers have them, but some fox and badgers skulls i have placed out to decay naturally have disappeared to.

ShootingEgg Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd say a roe doe too. Give it a clean up and it will look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm in a teacup Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks for the id everyone. My wife has given up telling him to put things down when they are out walking the dogs. He's a proper lad, always has something in his hand that he's found that his mother hates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mother needs to wisen up as to the needs and interests of a boy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartyboy Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Soak it in hydrogen peroxide to whiten it up and sterilise it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
