What creature would have done this?

[BigBoxaJunk]

If a predator like a raptor, mink, or fox is well-fed, sometimes they'll only eat the liver, heart, and other tasty organs and either cache or leave the rest. I've seen rabbits left like that a few times. The head was probably pulled off first, to get it out of the way, maybe where the rabbit was killed.

A good ole Indiana Methhead.

Dogs will rip the head off an animal.

 

[Hookeye]

Cats will chew the head off rabbits.
Strays did that at my moms place often.

FTFY

Do you have somthing against domesticated hairs?

 

[pmbiker]

I'm going with cat or dog(either wild or domestic) or the Chupacabra

Raptors usually leave no trace at the scene. Also usually pick a carcass clean and don't remove appendages.

 

[model1994]

hard to say for certain, as a few things will do that.

my guess is that a weasel did it - they like removing the heads of rabbits, chickens, etc and there’s no tracks in that soft ground around it suggesting a heavier predator

 

[Magyars]

Weasel, maybe. Our chickens never get any predators around them that I know of...seems the chickens would be easier pickins

I'm gonna guess it was a mutant flying frogbat hell bent on ridding itself of plutonium poisoning by wiping his diarrhea off using a bear with a little bunny coconut in it's arse.

This one appears to be the wild variety, if not technically a hare.

 

[Brad69]

Dogman or course no doubt.

Found this next to the wood pile about 150 yards from the house.
There were tufts of hair all around....head was missing and right leg torn from the body.
My guess is a rator, probably an owl. No obvious tracks. The dogs have left a few over the last few days.

Just a guess of course, but some type of bird. They take the brains. Any type k-9 would have left a much larger kill scene and have eaten all the meat, if not have removed the carcass. If eaten on site fur would have been spread around for a couple yards. Just a few pics don’t allow for much better guesses. JMO

Shapeshifter or Skinwalker makes sense to me

The INGO brain trust has been working overtime on this thread. Let see, aliens, chubacabra, Bigfoot, shape-shifter, bunny foo- foo, dogman, and more!
Pretty clever bunch, considering we live in fly over country!

Yep, I always love those type of comments, always useful.

 

[johntheplinker]

I think everybody missed the obvious choice. Possum.

 

[flyingsquirrel]

I guess I must apologies for kidding about a skin walker earlier because my beagles found a headless rabbit today. They did tree a large house cat the night before.
