[Nhcoll-l] Help with ID Please

[Jeff Stephenson]

Hello Mary Beth,
Good call on the (very sad looking) Procyon lotor.  Baby elephant hair in my experience is finer and shorter; this second sample does look to be a match for Phacochoerus africanus, but there might also be some other scraggly pig that's also a match.
Cheers,
Jeff

Greetings Mammals people!

I have a couple of skins that defy identification and I'm hoping someone in the community can help?  I believe one is a raccoon (albeit extremely faded and sans a tail) and the other one has me stumped.  Perhaps baby elephant?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!
