Hey everybody--longtime lurker here. DFW area.
Yesterday I found a dead newborn Mini Zebu. It had been predated upon, but not in a usual way, also been moved around also over several hours (worker in the pasture saw it in different locations over the day). A neighbor Great Pyrenees has been implicated in the past. I wonder if this is a new predator or what?
Never had a face chewed off like that. Tail is gone, hardly any anal damage, never had a leg removed so cleanly. The spine is super weird. The back leg is weird, I dunno why. I don't see any other chew marks. When I found it in the afternoon, it was not in rigor mortis. It's in a trash bag in the toolshed right now, I'm gonna examine it again and take pictures. Gonna place it in our cow graveyard protected enclosure to study its skeleton. Thanks for any advice and opinions!
