Found this washed up on Woolacombe bay beach yesterday, I know it's pretty manky but does anyone know what it was from the claws ? Our best guess was an ex badger ?

Looks like well done (if grizzly) beach art. Head of a horse, arms of a sloth (agree) and body of a dog. Amazing what can be achieved with sea litter?!?

That's far too pretty for Sandancer Laydeez.
I should know. In the early 90's O frequented quite often and pulled the aforementioned "supermodels".

And albino badgers have no pigment.. Ie white nails, these are black

The plot thickens

IIRC a lot of the flotsam and jetsam that lands in Cornwall has floated there from the americas, although typically more northern end of the US and canada rather than south america, so no reason to assume its something native to the UK.
