Condition
Dead
Animal
Dusky-Footed Woodrat
Observation Date / Time
Found freshly killed on side of trail in the Diablo Foothills (Pine Canyon near Burma Road) well away from suburban development. It had a puncture wound in its neck, so I'm thinking snake? Perhaps it was interrupted by hikers. It had not reached rigormortis yet. Could it instead be a black or brown rat? Hard for me tell. Confirmation bias, too. Considering that it was in undeveloped parkland, my hope is that it's a DF woodrat.
