When I wandered into the forest to get my daily exercise, I encountered what appeared to be the lair of an animal. It looked like a cozy place to stay for a coyote, bobcat, or small bear. As I approached the entrance to the cave-like rock outcropping, I heard a howl in the distance. I picked up a stick for protection (just in case it came closer), and noticed what appeared to be the left overs of the creature’s lunch lying at my feet. (See Below) I did not see the creature on this day. It is still lurking out there, behind my house…

That looks like a Coyote skull, but underdeveloped. Very interesting. I hope you are fast at climbing.
I agree that it appears to be a coyote skull. I think perhaps it belongs to a juvenile that didn’t quite make it and became a snack for its companions or something else out there in the woods.
