Probably was and that is how they got it, the Park Service that is but does anyone care to venture a guess as to whom this belongs to. Come on now, take a deep breath, that's it inhale deeply...
Skunk
Linville Falls, Blue Ridge Parkway, N.C.
There was a cute little Park Ranger, Erin, there at the Linville Falls visitors center and she had a whole table full of pelts and skulls from the various wildlife around the mountains here. She also really knew her stuff about them too, a very interesting young lady and quite informative.  _________________ Ken Ramos

Hmmm,quite clearly a carnivore,but hard to tell its size. Could it be a wolf? Or a Racoon?(yea i know they're omnivores but they have those canines) _________________ Canon 30D | EOS Rebel 2000-film(aka EOS 300) | Panasonic FZ-7 EB | Vivitar/Cosina 100mm f3.5 macro lens | EF 75-300 f4.5-5.6 USM III | EF 50 f1.8 II | Vivitar Series 1 19-35 f3.5-4.5 | Slik 88 Tripod. | My new blog:

Ya'all wouldn't believe how littlet that skull is. They also had a mink, racoon, beaver, and a couple more but I did not hang around because there were a bunch of sticky fingered, dirty faced little children that kept wanting to poke at my camera lens. Gotta love'em though, I guess.
Thanks Sue, Larry  _________________ Ken Ramos

You know I did not know there were or was a market for such things. Learn something new every day I suppose but one thing is for sure, I won't be selling any skulls, especially skunk skulls.
