General Predation - Photos - Page 3

Skinning the lamb's neck and shoulders reveals massive injuries to the larynx, as well as claw punctures and scratches on the neck and shoulders. The opposite side of the lamb also shows scratches and punctures in the skin. The hemorrhage which accompanied these indicates that this occurred while the lamb was alive. The size and spacing of the tooth punctures in this kill demonstrate that it was made by a large animal. The tooth puncture were nearly 3/8 inch in diameter and 2 1/4 inches apart.
This is the carcass of a lamb that was killed and fed upon by a raccoon.
