#pathological skull

Not sure if I ever shared pictures of Wyoming X1 after she was cleaned up. She’s one of my research coyotes, but she leans more towards a different angle of research given the fact that she’s pathological.

Given what happened to her face and with her teeth (You can find those in another post), I’m assuming that she got wrapped up in some wire and it wore into her teeth and punctured her face. There’s every possibility that something else happened, but that seems like the likely culprit for her injuries.

European Badger (Meles meles) with an absolute nasty break and bone infection. This particular individual was found 12ft from an active badger set deep in woodland off a busy motorway in Cambridgeshire and rather underweight, which could possibly suggest this infection may have prevented this guy from eating (or even sepsis) and resulted in its death.
