That is totally a raccoon snout. I've got a whole 'coon skull right here on my desk, and the snout on it looks exactly the same. And even a whole coon skull isn't worth $66. What a ripoff! Besides, I've never heard of a "Sword Tooth" Tiger...

What's really funny (though not if you get taken!) is how different things look when photographed up close - and cut up weird ways!  I had to do a double take - at first I thought it was a bear but when I read the desc.....

Looks like someone was trying to make a Tasmanian wolf. They've been extinct
since the early 1900's. Still a good job of mounting!

It looks like a small bobcat skull, or domestic cat. I thought it was a bear skull to like Shrecken, until I read it also. Just goes to show, don't throw anything away. lol
