I came across this this morning on a country road. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what it is. Does anyone have any idea ? Btw the image might be a bit distressing :confused:

Based on the fur I'm gonna say it's a badger - or it was a badger several weeks ago!

Fur. Dentition. Skull ..... We could be here all night.

Yep. 100% Badger. Or, as OYE intimates; What was, once '100% Badger'.

They have a raised ridge of bone. Running up the centre of the top of their skull. Always a quick indicator of what ye have
