I hope you won't mind if I join in on this one......

Heres a little fellah that I came across a while ago....

Any thoughts?

I'd guess at badger Ogri.

It means you've nearly located the Aliens' lair, and will shortly be cocooned to provide a host for their young.

Or maybe it's a badger.

Badger but interestingly the primary canine is missing and the teeth look worn. I'll qualify to "old badger"

 

[Ogri the trog]

I originally was tempted to say badger too,
But most of the skulls I've seen have a fin-like blade running behind the brain cavity to anchor the jaw muscles - so I was erring toward young rather than old - along with the general size of it compared to the keys........

It was spotted last september, so I'm not sure how large the previous years young would be, accounting for death to decay etc.

Looks a little alien-esque though doesn't it?

The question is though, did you take it home

No I did not, firstly the wife would not want it in the house and what could it be used for? apart from a exhibit.

I just like stuff thats a bit strange, and besides, who has really seen a fox skull ? The local school may have liked it for a nature display etc.....
