Name that Jaw...

What would you expect to find on a peaceful afternoon's walk around the Lac de Verdon? Wild flowers, fungi, the odd dragonfly and a variety of birds?

Well we saw all of those and will be posting about these in more detail in a day or two.

But what was it that really caught Elizabeth's eye?? A lower jaw of some now deceased animal...
Judging by the length and colour of the incisors and the number and pattern of the molars, we believe this to be a coypu (see here)

First roe deer droppings and now a coypu's lower jawbone; goodness knows what she'll find next!

But one thing's for sure... she'll have the camera at the ready!
