What's been at my frying pan?

[Opal]

The marks are those left by the increasingly rare Warwickshire Iridescent Pigmy Elephant.
The marks are left by the tusks when the WIPE tries to lick plates (or similar items) clean. Due to its increasingly endangered status this once majestic creature now seeks refuge high in the branches of deciduous trees only coming down to ground level to eat midnight snacks.
WIPE's hibernate for 6 months of the year and with autumn in full swing, they take refuge in deep piles of leaf litter.




EDIT:

I should mention that I was at the Meet and was also party to the discussion about what 'Wot dun it?' - the information about the Warwickshire Iridescent Pigmy Elephant is merely frippery

You were jokin'?

I reckon a squirrel.

(no front paw marks in the fat)

(no front paw marks in the fat)

May have been, but they've been eaten away with the fat.

 

[robin wood]

can we see a blow up of the area to the right? and is there any way we could get an idea of the size of tooth from known measurements of frypan?

Are they teethmarks though? Or the squirrel scraping the fat towards itself and licking the fat from it's paws???

Wayland, did you get a pic of the paw prints on the rim of the pan that we saw? Or would that make it too easy?

 

[R.Lewis]

By the way the marks fan and seem to be in bunches of four I would say that they are front paw/claw marks.


I'm going with Martin or mink.

 

[rommy]

What do mink kebabs taste like!!!

 

[_mark_]

Weasel....

 

[rommy]

Ok Mink kebabs taste like Weasel !! but do you have to hold your nose when you eat 'em?

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Woody's (of the bird type).... And they make awsome kebabs

 

[Bodge]

Lol it was probally Adam while he was waiting for me to wake up to cook breakfast.

 

[Robbi]

rabbit ????

 

[greasemonkey]

I'd say rat, had one get into my kitchen once and have a go at the butter dish*. The tooth marks look the same.

*duly trapped and shot.

You shot a butter dish?!

 

[tobes01]

Bat. Don't know which type.

I think a very small person wearing diving flippers was dancing in your frying pan after helping himself to a wee dram of whiskey out of your hip flask.
You need to check for signs at yer whiskey bottle me thinks

 

[Bushwhacker]

Looks like spork marks.

 

[Wayland]

Unfortunately they were so feint I couldn't catch them in a picture.

They were just patches where small paws had glazed the surface of the fat in the pan. Must have been something small and light.

 

[Toddy]

I think it's a shrew......don't think they'd kebab much though. I thought it was rats that Pratchett's dwarves kebabed.
Baby rats ???

cheers,
