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... Sick Laughing


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. Very Happy

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)

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. Laughing Gotta love'em though, I guess. Wink

Thanks Sue, Larry Very Happy

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. Laughing

Thanks Rik Very Happy
