If you look at the dates the thread is actually 2 years old, it was just resurrected by a new post from cjjulie.

Well actually I linked to it from another post about gruesome animal incidents. I'm sure that's what brought it back.

Oh! :blush:

While we're on the topic, here's our dead animal:

:repuke:

OMG!!!
 

That's no possum!!! IT'S A CHUPACABRA FETUS!!!!

What? You don't find dead animals fascinating?

I think it is cool how you can see the spine and ribs . . . usually rodents are so gnawed there's not much left . . .

Can't figure out why a creature would leave such a fine specimen laying around.

I havent found dead animals fascinating since I was a wee little lass and once when stumbling upon (not literally) a dead birdie, I squatted down to have a closer look....

"ohh look, its still alive!!!!! its chest is moving....I shall take it home and nurse it back to health!!!!".

Imagine my surprise, when I was cradling said birdie in my hands and should feel something wriggle....then imagine my GREATER surprise when that wriggling sensation turned out to be A GAZILLION FUCKEN MAGGOTS!!!!

They are a the grossest things ever....ever ever even.

It's definitely a baby squirrel
 

Here's a picture of a live newborn.

jelly baby?

Yep, just as I said

No, it's a dolphin! ;)

Well, considering the neighborhood, it certainly makes sense. (We no longer own our house... the squirrels got together and bought up the entire neighborhood, so now we just rent from them.)

Maggots
 

Good story DN.

Reminded me of the time when, also as a kid, I was riding my bike down the road and up ahead I saw a white T-shirt by the side of the curb. "Hey. Maybe it has a rock band logo or something cool on the front." As I reached down to grab said "T-shirt," I noticed that the whole thing was kinda "moving." A GAZILLION FUCKEN MAGGOTS!!!!

I think it was a dead skunk.:vomitblu:

My apologies

Opossum or squirrel.
