looks like a mix between a muskrat and a ferret. Ugly thing!

I have seen this before and I think the general concensus was it was a Pine Martin a member of the weasel family that would be right for the location Europe.
If I remember rightly after being killed by some kids I think it was either burned and buried or just buried then dug up later.

Have to agree with you Sherpa...I remember seeing this pic a while back and whatever site it was said it was in the weasle family. Looks very weaslish as well.

As for the stick in the but...I guess that's one way to carry it around. ewwwww

Definitely not a T-Rex. Its front legs are way too big.

Plus, when T-Rex was alive it only occurred in what is now the U.S. and Canada anyway. You wouldn't have found one in Bosnia even then!

Well, darkheartrising, that certainly is a disturbing, and nasty photo.

I can't agree with those who say it is some kind of clay sculpture. There are sculptors who make art, and sculptors who produce life-like creations. That photo, to me, does not look like the work of either. There are far too many tell-tale signs of it being a real raod kill; eg the stick placed up its butt (presumably to help in lifting it), and the splurge of guts, not to mention the bruises. Any could be replicated by a hoaxer, but in this case, to what end?

I have no idea what it is, but to me it looks like a once animate, and now very dead, creature.

Looks like a cat to me...One less cat in the world..WOOOOHOOO!!!!

Ive been to Bosnia also and there is a lot of unexploded landmines...Could be a cat or dog that caught some shrapnel..UGHHH

One thing for sure its a ugly mofo!

Apologies, I was just kinda amazed that a simple search for
"Pine Marten" on google images brought up Pine Marten roadkill.
Hence my lil' [graphic image warning]

Anyways, some say cat, some say dog.. etc..
Still don't have a definitive answer.

HeY Darkheartrising, as nice as your avatar is, I suggest you put a shirt on before you get banned.

This looks more like a member of the cat family to me. Something like an ocelot or puma that has been skinned. Pine Martens have bigger ears and this poor creature appears not to have big ears. Bosnia is well known for the illegal breeding and trade of exotic cats in particular.

Might have escaped, been shot, skinned and dumped. What ever happened to it, it didn't look like a happy end for the poor thing.

dang, i uploaded the wrong one.lol..sorry
shoot uhm...you didn't see anything, (jedi knight trick) I was NOT nude..

My take on the photo, is that what ever the animal was, and I think that it is a cat, it was skinned and badly gutted.

yeay! I think you solved it Sherpa.
thank you!

Your welcome, however I am not sure if that is definative proof as I havn't seen anything about dna testing on this animal, unless this is done I feel there is an element of doubt no how matter how small.

Regards

Yeah, Sherpa... I think you nailed it. It's actually a pretty cute little guy before he's covered in dirt and using his intestines as a belt.
