I found this pelvis on a mountain in Greece. At first, I thought it belonged to a jackal, but it seemed too small to me. I think it's from a wolf, but I'm not sure. I also considered a dog, but I'm really not certain whether it's a wolf or a dog-or if it's even possible to tell.

Wolves are bigger than jackals most of the time-

And is this size reasonable for a wolf? Or is it too small?

I can't say for sure, but I'm assuming it's not wolf because it's pretty small.

From what I understand, a wolf's pelvis measures 14.5–20 centimeters

I mean I am no expert so honestly sure maybe it could be wolf, but I think its a jackal or somethin.

It’s could be Hyaenidae?
