Ramo Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Found these jaws today in a creek in Kansas. Found around bison and elk parts. I'm guessing and hoping bear, but could be more recent. What do the mammal experts on here think? 2 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don’t beieve this is a bear, they generally have a significant gap between the canine tooth and the premolars. This looks more like a wolf or other dog like animal. A picture from the side might be helpful also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Here are a couple more pictures. I agree that it is probably not bear. Maybe Gray wolf. Like I said it was found in an area with numerous buffalo bones, and I also found 2 different partial elk antlers there. I guess it could be a few hundred years old, or much older. It was an old individual, look at the wear on those teeth!
