Mystery Tooth
Banana provided as standard unit of measurement. In the middle is a tooth from a Sperm Whale and on the left is a tooth that I found under my house. Sperm whale teeth are pretty common around here (Tasmania, Australia) but the mystery tooth doesn’t match. Certainly looks to be from a carnivore but it’s way bigger than any native species would have eg Tasmanian devil (source: I’ve been a Tasmanian devil zookeeper for 30 years).
