Good question? Never seen anything like that before, bet it was an "ugly" critter.... Wonder if it maybe it had a defect and was deformed? Got my curiosity up now! Will be watching to see if anyone can identify.

Clearly a squatch...

No really, the orbital area is very large, and doesn't match the rest of the skull size at all, and the teeth (and jaw structure) don't match at all. I would agree that this is a deformed animal of some sort and met its demise due to lack of Ability to eat.

There is a condition in humans called treacher-Collins syndrome where there are serious facial deformations, although this is not a treacher Collins type abnormality, I wouldn't be surprised to see such abnormalities in animals.

Whatever the type of animal this is, it is an omnivore or predator given the teeth

Looks like the skull of an English Bulldog or other flat faced or pug variety canine.

I typed "skull of a bulldog" into Yahoo Images and got several looks at skulls very similar. Sure looks alien at first glance, though.

Anna, our former pet English BD, is buried in the backyard. I guess I could dig her up and see what her melon looks like for comparison sake.
