Hi JackGraham! We just discussed this case in the Rangers room and believe it is indeed acceptable under our rules as listed under FAQ. It is well documented and not gruesome, and from a part of the world from which we don't get many observations.
So it's fine to post dead animals as long as they were killed by other animals/ natural causes? ... or no dead animals period? I feel like this wouldn't be offensive to anyone... but I may be wrong...
As we are a community of wildlife lovers, we request that you do not post any images that may cause offense to other users, such as hunting or fishing trophy photographs. We also ask that you do not add dead organisms except those taken as food by living organisms in their natural habitat.
Plus it makes for great closeup shots.
I figured it was fine, since it was in one piece and I found it in this condition.
Jack ,usually pictures of dead animals are avoided.
