Brachycephalic dog skull mistaken for that of an extraterrestrial in Mississippi

February 1, 2014 by retrieverman

brachycephalic

From Rense.com:

 HBCC UFO Research Note: If someone might know what this is, please email me and fill me in. I kind of figure it is something rather normal ? But would appreciate if one of you folks might know what this is, I am certainly not in anyway shape or form an expert on this kind of thing. Email received with the photos:

Please take a look at these pictures.

This is a skull of a small Creature unlike anything i know of in this part of the country. My brother was out hunting in Tishomingo County, Mississippi near the waterway when he found this skull.

In the comments, it is suggest that it is a pekingese or a Chihuahua. I would put a French bulldog, a Boston terrier, a Japanese chin, or a pug on the list of possibilities, too. I am a bit skeptical of it being a chihuahua

It’s not a pig, ET, or a chupacabras*, whatever the hell that’s supposed to be.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Chupacabras invariably wind up being normal animals that have become hairless for some reason. Most commonly due to sarcoptic mange.  The chupacabras phenomenon has grown into so many different bizarre and unlikely things that it is hard to have a rational discussion about where this entire story got started.

      West Virginia goat sucker (Carprimulgiformes) would be a whippoorwill.

        common name for a nighthawk is a goat sucker

    I think it started in Puerto Rico, but I wouldn’t swear to that.

    Interesting how the jaw is so greatly reduced in size, but the teeth are not commensurately reduced. No wonder the little dogs lose their teeth so early in life. And the eyes are so vulnerable, no real boney protection. Sad.

    Too funny.

    I just picked up a skull at a thrift store to add to my wildlife skull collection that had me stymied for a bit. Turns out it probably belonged to a pit pull type. the teeth are very worn and had a small caliber hole in top. Google images can help with IDing different species. (I’m in Montana and own an Irish terrier and a lurcher).

    Too sad… This is what most of those “cute little dogs” are like inside.

    It’s definitely a pug skull. No doubt about it. You should look up a picture, though because the jaws of said skull…are very strange. I vital part of IDing as a pug skull.
