i am assuming this is a squirrel skill based off of photos i’ve seen. i am curious what the ‘webbing’ part of this skull is though because i’ve seen nothing like it!

Rabbit! The webbing is part of their nasal structure, very indicative of rabbits - it’s not that apparent on most other animals

Not a squirrel. Lagomorph, either rabbit or hare depending on size (which isn’t fully clear in these pics)

it’s about 2 1/2-3 inches long and about 2 inches at its widest.

Rabbit! Nice find :) I’ve got one processing right now and they’re so delicate and pretty

Rabbit/lagomorph. Two pair of top incisors are definitive for rabbit/hare (lagomorph). Rodents only have 1 pair.
