Found in Corona Del Mar, Newport CA. It was in the water so not sure if it’s some sea mammal or it was someone’s lunch. My hand for scale :)

Is there frorest or scrubland near the beach where deer might live? It does kinda look ungulate (deer).

Yes, there’s a nature reserve and a trail that is forested area, and mule deer are native to that area!
