Skeletal Remains

This post generated almost 40,000 hits in 4 hours as people tried to guess what creature the skeleton belonged to. What’s your guess?

It was March 12th and I was up in the Northern Neck area of Virginia when I spied this abandoned home. But what intrigued me the most was the skeleton. Can anyone identify what I was looking at? What is this the skeleton of?

The house as it appeared from the road.

As I worked my way around the property this was as close as I could get because of the underbrush.

Like many old farmhouses, daffodils lead you to the front door.

It was when I went around to the side of the house that the landscape became more interesting.

There were buzzards watching me from the roof as I studied these remains.

A closer look didn’t yield any answers. I still couldn’t figure out what kind of animal this must have been.
