bone mystery
We found a mysterious skull at the creek. We compared it with a skeleton our friends in Spruce House found earlier this year....it was a match! The teeth suggest an omnivore....sharp cutting teeth in the front and flat molars in the back...so we guessed it might be an opossum or a raccoon. Our bone books gave us additional clues...the large number of teeth, eye placement, and skull shape all seem to suggest we discovered an opossum skull!
