    A mustellid anyway I think.

    The square shape too... mustelids have long skulls but not this square....

    It looks like an Eptesicus bat now that I think about it, but don´t ask me for species XD

    If I told you I'd have to kill you :D

    JK no secret haha; I've just read a little bit more than convenient for my eyesight. Still so much to be learned, though!
