    The owner of a very powerful bite (for its size).

    Tasmanian wolf?

    Definitely not a hyena... the skull is too slender and the teeth too small...

    I wanted to say Tasmanian Devil but it doesn´t seem robust enough...

    I googled the pic and it came up as an extinct species! :(

    Might be an idea to stick the pictures up on imgur and then link to them, that way no-one can cheat by just quoting the original post or googling the image.

    Ah right, the powerful bite remark made me think hyena.

    Must be a mix up here, the Thylacine is extinct at least 100 years.

    I think Steddyeddy has posted a Tazmanian wolf/tiger skull when he aimed to post a Tazmanian Devil. Sorry if my assumption is incorrect.

    Starting to suspect same. Which would mean I was correct and would be my turn :D

    Waiting for confirmation, though

    Would it be too awkward to post a rough scale for these carnivore posts?
    The less 'specialized' skulls can look almost identical.
    Good call on the thylacine BTW. Would never have guessed that!

    EDIT: Was going to suggest a hint instead but I see steadyeddy already put one in. I can see how this got muddled! :D

    Hmm... excuse me, it would be my turn to post. Im ok with letting aidoh post his picture, since he hasn´t had the opportunity, but you could at least ask me first...
