At first I thought it was the elusive chupacabra, but the snout is too short!   ;)   So, I'm leaning towards the badger as well...

dental formula are very helpful in identifying skulls and are inclueded in many mammal field guides.

All of the animals listed above can be distiguished by a different set of teeth.  Count 'em and you'll know what it is.

Racoon: i3/3, c1/1, p4/4, m2/2 total=40
Badger: i3/3, c1/1, p3/3, m 1/2 total=34
canine: i3/3, c1/1, p4/4, m2/3 total=42

I will call him Caleb.  

It is a name I have always admired.

Do you like that? Caleb?

Ha!!  this gets better all the time.  I did not think about your name being Caleb...  I was only thinking about a line from a movie.  The best movie made imo.  Do you know what it is?

It's either a skunk or badger, looks too small for a raccoon, wrong brain cavity for a grinner, not slim and pointed enough for a fox, too small for a coyote.
