Walked outside and saw this decapitated rabbit. Any ideas what’s hunting here?

Not a pretty picture - sad. Could be a Fox or a bird of prey (hawk, owl, eagle).

Possums have the rep of eating the head and guts first, at least with chickens.

Most predators would have eaten it or carried it away so my guess is possibly a dog.

Cats are carnivores and they eat their prey. I suspect that it was something small for it did not drag it away. I believe that a dog would have carried it off if it were to eat it.

Chupacabra, or aliens.

very few predators will spend the energy to kill something and not eat it all... i would suspect an interrupted fox or (if you have them in your area) a fisher cat (which isn't a cat - more a weasel on steroids and bad acid) ...

just googled - you might well have them where you are ...

I assume there are no land mines of C4 lying around. What kind of predators do you have in the area?
