Found a Skull - A Rabbit?
We found this skull, which we at first thought to be a bird's, on a stone beach at Lake Byllesby on Saturday. It has what appears from the side to be a yellow, extremely hooked beak something like that of a raptor.

Rabbits have two sets of incisors on the upper jaw and one set on the lower. The two big incisors on the top front have a second small set behind them. I'm fairly certain this is unique to rabbits.
Thanks for the insights!
