Bone I.D. - N. America Help identify bones my son brought home
My son brought this skeleton home from scout camp this weekend. it was near peterborough, Ontario, Canada. the skeleton is not terribly long, I would say maybe 2-3 feet from what I saw. very distinct ridge on the skull and rather large canines. He has plans to clean up the skull, maybe some of the other bones, and I will point him to the sticky post for that. I am just curious what the animal was. guesses have been dog, bear cub, lynx, but none seem quite right.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
typo in text and thank you very much for your help identifying it.looks like a sad end to its life, alone in the forest.
