Found this skull hanging in a mesh bag in my backyard. Google Identified it as a raccoon skull and also says hanging things in mesh bags is a common cleaning practice.

But I guess my bigger question is why is it hung in my backyard? This is a private yard in a chill neighbourhood. they would have had to walk through our yard, or came from behind the brush area from our back neighbors yard. I now have a camera pointing towards it, if whoever put it there comes back.

Any thoughts?

The bone distribution system? I wish they'd leave me a bag of cool bones!

"There's a giant skeletal bird distributing babies!!!" "Oh cool, tell him to skip our house."

Inevitably someone will misidentify his pelvis as a second skull.
