Any ideas ?

Hey everyone, I found this claw this morning whilst working in a garden in the countryside. It was in a border which had a quince tree.

I thought it maybe a badgers claw but I don’t think it is. It must be quite a recent thing as it wasn’t there in the autumn and was just on top of the soil.

Does anyone have any ideas what animal this claw may be from as it’s pretty large! 🐅

Good Morning Ali,

I showed this to hubby & he was wondering about the size. Can you retake the photo with a ruler or coin next to the claw? Just a thought... Granni B

Hi, it’s 2 inches x 2 inches and the white claw from the top right to the tip is 1 1/2inches. Hope that helps. Any ideas? 🙂

Hubby thinks you are on the right track... tiger or maybe mountain lion. Nice to have a mystery once in awhile. Granni B

A killer squirrel...🐿 ... I think its time to blow the whistle and leave in an orderly manner before a killer hamster has you...😂

I wondered if it was from from a bird of prey like a barn owl. 🦉

Good idea but I think it’s too big. I think it’s a tiger claw after doing my research. Would seem a bit odd in a country garden but.....if they bought tiger dung from a zoo to keep cats and badgers out of their garden, it would explain why it’s there. They are away so can’t ask them if they had ever bought tiger dung.

Lol, Darn, you’re right about the whistle. I was a bit slow off the mark there and now I’ve missed my ideal opportunity! 🙄

Wow, I'm hoping you find out what it is, when your neighbours get back. :-)

I think it’s a tiger claw. I googled it and that’s what it looks like. I Will ask them when they come back. 😁
