It's the skull of an Urogale everetti, or the Philippine Tree Shrew. It's not classified as a rodent, but as a primate...like moneys and humans. It has human-like ears, and tiny five-fingered hands like a very small, skinny baby's. We had thousands of them living in the coconut palms around our house in El Nido, Palawan. The cats caught this one, and we saved the skull. Glad you (sort of) liked it!
Looks like a rat skull to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is some type of rodent...ewwww!
ReplyDeleteBut a great stitching project!
Yeah, the teeth have "rodent" written all over them. I love it.
