Aussie Foxer Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi guys, I'm just a getting into the foxing and loving it, I was passing a paddock tonight and noticed four lambs like this. Would you guys say it's a fox or could a few crows do this ? So much of the bone around the face has gone and a couple had the tails missing, the rest of the ewes and lambs in the paddock are very jumpy. Thanks for your opinions.

maximus otter Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Eyes and tongues? My guess would be crows. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Bone has been bitten through so I'd say a badger followed by a crow which took the eyes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radd Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 What country is this in? By the OP's username and the size on the lamb.. My guess is South of the equator. I wouldn't have a clue what predators are in this part of the globe. Here in Radnorshire my thoughts would be with a stripey nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Badgers are a touch thin on the ground in Oz.. A fox would be the only candidate as cats wouldn't chew bone on a lamb anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leezie Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Looks like a Broc to me and perhaps the finishing touches by a rat or corviids on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I predict a bunyip..IF we are including antipodean,rather than mythical,how about allegedly recently extinct,but maybe not...Thylicine. Dingo -definitely not extinct-hence world's longest fence (In Aus). Otherwise badger (Blitz-yeah,just hope not; 'feral' dog/neanderthal owner) and corvids. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
