I've had the opposite twice recently. All of the squirrel is gone, except for the head. The cut is as if the head was severed with a knife. I've watched dogs eat ground squirrels I had shot or trapped, they eat the entire animal. Birds are quite messy. I can see bobcat eating the carcass, but the head is too messy/hard for their delicate cat sensibilities? We have bobcats roaming our neighborhood. We also have coyotes.
