What rodents are common out there? Definitely looks rodent to me. I think the bottom teeth are simply a malformation. I don't know of any critter with crossed bottom teeth like that. It looks like the one tooth was actually growing into the upper skull area. Poor thing probably starved to death. The teeth didn't create the correct bite, so they wouldn't wear down correctly allowing it to eat. The teeth are pretty sturdy, much more than rabbit. Are beaver common out there?
