    Kairo @Kairo Anatomika Many years ago, when I was a student, I was helping the lab clean out their freezer when I came upon a bl dsoaked package wrapped in plastic. No one knew where it came from or how long it had been there..... 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 2.9M Views 71 7.1K 53K 8.3K ... ↑

    Kairo @kairo_Anatomika It was a frozen skinned coyote head. Most likely, it was left there by a student that had long since graduated. It was decided that it was going to be thrown away. So I asked if I could have it. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 400.8K Views

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika As the flesh fell away, an interesting pattern of marks came to light. On either side of his teeth, there are these grooves. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 388.1K Views . .

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika His canines on both sides had series of abrasions. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 · 363.4K Views ...

    Kairo @Kairo Anatomika The groove here is worn into the pulp cavity of the tooth. Damage like this would have been extraordinarily painful and would have become quickly infected. But there's no sign of infection here. When you close the mouth, the grooves form a near perfect circle. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 350.4K Views :

    Kairo @Kairo Anatomika There's a direction to these abrasions. Whatever he had been chewing on had tension to it. It was wrapped around the teeth. The abrasions are all the same diameter, just a bit thinner than a cell phone charge cord. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 338.5K Views . .

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika It's a wire. He had been caught in a snare 2:48 AM - Jan 8, 2024-330.9K Views ...

    Kairo @kairo_Anatomika Snares are basically zip ties made out of wire. The other end is anchored to a stationary object like a tree. They are designed to loop around the neck and tighten as the animal struggles, strangling it.

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika Something went wrong. Maybe it wasn't very tight or maybe it was looped around his leg instead. Somehow, he was able to get his jaws around the wire. The back-and- forth motion of his head as he struggled to escape wore grooves into his teeth. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024 309.6K Views . yn 0

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika He'd been at it for a long time...definitely at least a night, maybe even an entire day, or more. He wore deep grooves into his teeth. His mouth was probably badly cut. Had he more time, infection would have set in, marking the bone. He never had that time.

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika Forgotten in the back of a freezer, waiting to be told, was the story of perseverance, struggle, and the desperate will to survive etched into the trajectory of abrasions. 2:48 AM Jan 8, 2024. 306.5K Views 401 19K ... 243

    They Call Me Bane @BaneOfCovid My dog once disappeared for two days, we thought he'd run off. Until we got a call that he was caught in an illegal snare, it was wrapped around his snout, he was lucky to be alive. When I think about how much he suffered, how afraid he must have been, it breaks my heart & I rage 7:05 AM Jan 8, 2024 262.1K Views 8 t51 10K 73

    Kairo @Kairo_Anatomika Yeah he got really lucky. Those things are designed to kill fairly quickly. Does he have a lot of facial scars from the incident? Can't imagine what it must have been like 7:29 AM Jan 8, 2024 208.2K Views 1 277 4.1K ... 15

    人.YO 中村和幸 04 @Aokakesukazu Posts like these really make me feel the fragility of life and how quickly someone can strip that life out of you. Humanity can be so cruel and heartless to create such violent things. I'm glad that their last remains landed in your hands so that you may care for them and give their story a voice. Now their soul can rest in peace as their suffering has ended. Thank you for taking the time to write this all out. 10:34 AM. Jan 8, 2024 159.9K Views 2 129 1.7K 30

    Twisted Machine @TwisteddMachine Poor baby... and for what? The one who did it didn't even remember or care to claim their "trophy". At least you found them. 10:10 AM Jan 8, 2024 · 29.1K Views
