I'm pretty sure I know what it is, but if I'm wrong, maybe someone should identify it. Rat skull?
I found it around this creepy old haunted hospital. I've been there twice lately and each time I find something dead... Birds, LARGE FISH which I don't understand, and now a rat skull.

Looks a little too large to be a rat skull. Based on the small intraorbital foramen, the zygomatic plate, the 4 cheek teeth, and the pointed post-orbital process (at least that's what it looks like from the last shot, didn't see a picture from the top of the skull) it looks like a squirrel. smile

You might also be finding these odd skulls/skeletons in there because a raccoon might be dragging its meals there. 3nodding

I concur. I would say a squirrel or possibly a "potgut"... do you have those? (They are a type of ground squirrel). But too big to be a rat.
