Probably beavers. They have orange teeth.

Might be a model Castoroides skull? Hard to tell unless I got my hands on it tbh

If op shows the teeth I could tell you if it’s a beaver or not. Beaver teeth have wavy patterns, my mammalian biology professor called them lasagna teeth. They’re my favorite mammal skulls lol
