I found a small animal skull (shunk or possum size) that has no eye sockets, what is it?

Few mammals have eye sockets that are as well developed as our own.  It's probable that the skull you found once had eyes, but that their placement is not obvious in the defleshed skull.\n\nHere's a picture of an opossum skull\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/didelphimorphia/didelphidae.jpg/view.html\n\nLooking at the dorsal view, you can see two horn-like projections just anterior to the sagittal crest.  Those are the attachment points for the cartilage that makes up the back of the support for the eyeballs.  In life, the eyes fit in the rounded areas just in front of those horns.\n\nHere's a picture of a skunk skull, http://www.skullsunlimited.com/graphics/spotted_skunk_skull.jpg\n\nYou can see the rounded area where the eyeball sits just in front of the jaw, above the cheekbone.  There's no real socket for the eyes the way there is in a human skull.

do u mean the animal? an aye aye?  it lives in the trees in the rain forest and uses its hands to forage for insects and nectar in the tree tops.  it has huge eyes, it looks similar to an opposum.  but i think the external features which u are talking about are its unusal hand, it is either one hand or both which has a differently shaped finger in each place such as index, thumb, pinkie, each of its fingers are built for a different job ( poking in to get necat etc) , some of them are long and thin and the other short and fat etc..quite an interesting animal.

I can't find it on-line either, and I've found that you can find references to any common animal name through Google. Therefore, this is almost certainlty not a real animal.

I saw this on Animal Planet, and I can't remember it's name!  Isn't it a water bear or something?  Really kind of neat.

If it's really small, it may be a pseudoscorpion.\n\nHere's a pic: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ar_1.jpg

I have collected biological specimens in South Carolina and I found not shortages of the species you mention. I suspect either the habitat in your area is not suitable, or perhaps they are casualties of insecticides or rodenticides. We often cruised the roads that at night and found both the spotted as well as the striped skunk. Chipmunks are diurnal and they were very common in most areas and home owners hated them. Here's a bit more detail on them. Eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius)\n  This is one of the smallest skunks, (about 1/2 the size of a house cat), with short legs, and a long, bushy tail with a white tip. It has a black coat with 4 broken white stripes, and a white patch on the nose, and front of the ears. The average total length is 470-563 mm average weight being 450-700 grams. This species mates by April, and 2-6 young are born during May or June. The male gives no care to the young. This species is nocturnal, and they climb trees more than other skunks. They are quicker and more alert, also. There is no true hibernation, just short inactive periods in the winter to conserve body fat. Several may den together in the winter. They have a characteristic handstand defense mechanism which makes the skunk appear larger. Striped skunks are easily recognized by their characteristic colors and pattern. The fur is black with a white stripe that begins as a triangular shape on the top of the head, forks into two stripes that travel down the sides of the back, and usually merges again near the base of the tail. Another white stripe runs from the base of the snout between the eyes and ends on the forehead. Stripe width and length vary with each individual. Stripes sometimes occur on the tail, but more often the tail is composed of both black and white hairs intermixed. Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) is about the size of a domestic cat, with a small head, small ears, short legs, and a long, fluffy tail. Feet are plantigrade with five partially webbed toes. Claws are longer on the front feet to aid in digging.\nChipmunks. About twenty-five species fall under this title, native to Europe, Asia and North America. The common species of the United States is the Eastern chipmunk Tamias striatus.\nThe name stems from the loud chip sound that they make, in addition to a rapid trill sound. They are also called the striped squirrel or ground squirrel. However, the name "ground squirrel" is more usually kept for the genus Spermophilus - though Tamias and Spermophilus are only two of the 13 genera of ground-living sciurids. \nThough they are commonly depicted with their paws up to the mouth, eating peanuts, or more famously their cheeks bulging out on either side, chipmunks eat a much more diverse range of foods than just nuts. Their omnivorious diet consists of grain, nuts, birds' eggs, and insects. Come autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for winter. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called larder hoarding and scatter hoarding. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until spring.

A small furry unexplained creature with sharp teeth that were used too suck the blood of livestock. They are known too be 3-5 feet tall. Some people have explained them looking reptilian like. Some people even say they are furry or they are aliens. Chupacabra means ''goat sucker''. There is no proof that such a creature exists, but that does not explain the puncture wounds left in the victim's body. No other creature could have done such a thing, but some people think that whatever has done that are only stray dogs wandering around through farms, but how can anybody think that when dogs don't even drink blood? Some UFO scientists believe that the ''goat sucker'' is no other than an alien, while most scientists think the idea of an unexplained blood sucker existing is just a hoax, but how can the ''goat sucker'' be a hoax when so many people have spotted the creature, but some scientists think that the people were just hallucinating. The fight for the proof still goes on.

Their head looks someone took a crap and molded it into the shape of a potato, and drew eyes on it. Their suction cups are lined with little teeth for gripping stuff, and they have a beak at the bottom of their head where they clamp down on their prey. Not the cutest animal ever.

Gallimimus was a fast-running dinosaur with a very long, thin, flattened, toothless, horny beak, a small head, and a relatively large brain. The bottom front part of its beak was shaped like a shovel. It had large eyes positioned on opposite sites of its head, ruling out binocular vision (depth perception). It had a long neck, long tail, and long legs. Gallimimus was about 13-20 ft (4-6 m) long, was 6.3 ft (1.9 m) tall at the hips, and may have weighed about 970 pounds (440 kg).
