The debate is still raging on the picture from Norway that we posted yesterday and I have to say that I agree with Max, Tony and Scotty that it does not look animate to me.However, I have had this picture since Christmas. It was given to us by our good friends Jules and Dougie, the Cornish ghosthunters.
We have kept quiet about it, because we were hoping to retrieve the skeleton first, but since this photograph was taken last spring, the bones (we found out yesterday teatime) have disappeared. Probably the work of predators.
What is it?

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

Looks like a smallish deer to me, but a shot of the skull would be most helpful, as would something in the picture to add scale.

Judging from the size of the leaves in the photo it is not a very large animal. The Rock also hides a large percentage and being at such a distance makes identifiable markers hard to spot, as stated a skull view would certainly help a lot.

The vertebrae and ribs, as well as neck length point to a small deer, probably a roe deer. A skull shot would confirm this.
