So what do you think it is? Wanna ask those experts of yours?
At first, due to the size of the skull and the slight/gentle slope to the forehead, it made me thing coyote. However, I quickly realized it's not a canine because it doesn't have a sagital crest.
Does anyone think this might be a type of dog skull???
Jeez, this is a tough one. It's obviously the top of a skull. It looks to be a young or juvenile animal because the cranial plates are not completely fused. With out a few more pictures of different views, my first thought, pulled out of my backside would be a deer.
