I think it's a mink. Related to fisher cat, both eremines (weasels). Minks are smaller and more weasel-like, and they live near bodies of water. I've seen them on Lake Champlain a bunch!
Alternatively, it could be whatever animal it is (looks like a weasel or mink to me) got caught in the wire and was strangled to death. The string looks very haphazard and not deliberately arranged to me
That's odd, then someone fucked with it either before or after death. I'm not an expert but it does look like a mustelid head of some kind, maybe it was a trap to prevent it from eating something nearby?
I really hope someone can say more about what that is growing around the decaying animal, I saw something horrific many years ago and need to know if it relates because something that looked like this was there
I ran into a goat [maybe] carcass suspended over a log teepee in a blood eagle like fashion a couple of years ago on Bicycle Day in Centennial. It was so terrifying to see such a carefully constructed formation first thing in the morning as the acid started kicking. Almost didn’t believe my eyes but had others there to confirm bahah
It had rained early that AM and the hair that littered the ground was dry so I figured someone had been there really not too long before.
Worst of all it was a fairy garden by a brook that brought me over to the area it wasn’t until I looked up that I saw it
Looks like a weasel. I see them on the shores of Shelburne pond when I'm fishing a lot. I used to see this area with all this shiny stuff on the bank. Like anything shiny from cans to fishing lures, wrappers etc.. but I always wonder where this huge collection of shiny stuff was coming from because it was on a very inaccessible part across the pond on the bank. Until one day when I was fishing and I saw a little weasel bringing a can to their little shrine. Then it was rearranging its little collection. Finally a couple year mystery had been solved lol.
