This antelope head/skull was ± 15 cm (excluding the ears).
We found this head on the side of a dirt road in the arid semi dessert of Tankwa National Park.
There was no blood or other body parts in view. Only a few ants was around this head, it was as if it was only skull and fur. It was a very strange find. There are caracals and leopards in this area but there was no visible scratch or bite marks to the head. We are not sure what species it was or if, perhaps, it was a baby. My apologies if it is a bit traumatizing, but this is exactly how we came across it in the wild.

more likely a young Springbuck, definitely a gazelle of sorts I would think with the concave face structure
Wild goat?
