Rabbit Skull It Is.

I think. I’ve been doing major garden work today, and there are always a few macabre discoveries. The skull I’ve brought in and put on the desk in front of me (I’m gazing at it as I type) still has quite a few of its little teeth, and its head is a perfectly intact pearly thing bisected by thin wavy lines. I’ve just Google Imaged

rat skull
fox skull
squirrel skull
rabbit skull

and found that the rat’s teeth are all wrong, the fox is totally something else, the squirrel is too small, and the rabbit — well, the rabbit’s just right… And when you think of how many rabbits UD‘s garden has, and how they’re always getting eaten by the foxes who live at the top of UD’s hill — and how the bird’s eye view of the skull looks just like this (upper left) — I think we’ve got a match.

Update: Next day. My sister
(with whom I’ve just finished
filming my fourth lecture
on poetry for the Faculty
Project
) took a picture
of the skull from above:
