A STRANGE animal skeleton has been found in Cashes Green, Stroud.

Conroy Christie was walking his dog in the field near the kissing gate last Wednesday when he stumbled across the skeleton.

"It was really close to the path and I almost stepped on it," said Conroy.

"I wouldn't normally take such an interest but it was such a strange looking skeleton that I became curious as to what animal it was.

"When I went home I looked up some different animal skeletons but couldn't find one to match.

"Maybe someone can help identify it."

The skeleton is no longer in the place Conroy originally found it but he is hoping someone can identify the animal from the pictures.
