What is this mammal? <<FEEDER>>

Anyone see this pic online before? A forum I'm on is trying to figure out what it is...



Guesses are Dog, Rabbit, Fawn, Fox, Goat, and Calve...

I honestly have no idea, but would like to clear it up for them if anyone here has any idea...

I thought hooves too, but wasn't 100% sure

and that tail looks just plain strange!

BTW, I have NO IDEA where the pic originally came from...

I'm not sure if those are hooves or paws. At first, I though paws, it's also got a fluffy tail, and my first thing I said was "is that a dog?"

Some baby animals have fluffy tails I think, and the body shape doesn't really look like a dog to. And those very well could be hooves, maybe it is some kind of wild pig, asian deer or something I'm not used to seeing. Kinda looks like a calf, but it has a fluffy tail. Calfs, around here, also are usually 70 lbs and up born.

Something about the snake and the bricks it's on, makes me think it's not a very big snake. That is still a very large prey item for that snake, and it may weigh up to 30 lbs. Could be the angle too.

I hope someone knows, cause I am really curious now.

Did you get emailed the picture? Any information with it at all?

Look at the feet, it's not hooves, so it can't be a fawn/goat/or calf. If you look at the front legs, imagine how the animal would sit on them, like a dog, straight, it looks more like they would be bent like a rabbit. Plus rabbits tails can be quite long.

So I go for rabbit!

To me, it looks like dog feet and dog tail.

I am leaning towards rabbit now, but it's very confusing...

Ryan, no info on the pic... I was posting about my local herpers forum, and a buddy posted a pic that he'd found and saved off the net sometime ago...

We started trying to figure out what it was, and there's still a debate on it...

My first thought was dog , becasuse of the tail, then I took the pic into an imaging program and zoomed in on the feet, there are no paws/claws , they are hooves, so with that tail and the hooves plus what you can see of the outline of the jaw just outside the snakes mouth, I would say it is some kind of deer. The color looks off to be a North American species; it’s probably an Asian species of deer.
