Ancient Relics

[Lothiriel]

We homeschoolers can be easily distracted sometimes! We were clearing out the ancient junk pile behind our old barn this afternoon and dug out a couple bones. That led to about an hour or so of unearthing more.

See if you can guess the ID of this critter! We figured it out already.

ahh... Dog?

 

[MercedesBender]

Is it a badger? It looks like the nose is too rounded for a dog....

No, not a dog. Smaller!

Not a badger either. Pretty close in a way, though.

Raccoon skull?

 

[Lothiriel]

@theoldchick....

That it is!

 

[chickened]

Capvin? (relic) just kidding. An omnivore of some sort is my guess.

 

[AquaEyes]

Procyon lotor.

Yes, it's an omnivore.

Procyon lotor.

Est quidem Procyon lotor.
