I agree with Yes Sir. Those rib bones are broke/chewed through to expose the internal organs....heart, lungs, etc. This suggests cat or cat-like animal to me as they usually don't have the means to break long bones like a canine. They also like to enter the carcass from behind the shoulder and eat the good stuff first many times. In my opinion, it was probably a small/juvenile bobcat that was really hungry, and had not perfected killing yet.

Rib bones are broke/chewed through Keith. That suggest some kind of mammal to me. From what I’ve seen, raptors usually enter the carcass through the soft areas, especially black vultures. Eyes, genital/anus area.
I’m not saying it want a bird as small an animal as the kid goat was, but whatever it was was after the heart and lungs.

I’m not saying it want a bird as small an animal as the kid goat was, but whatever it was was after the heart and lungs. I used to do a lot of falconry. The redtail hawks we hunted with would pull the muscle away from the rib bones on the rabbits and squirrels they caught and then pull and twist the bone, breaking them like that. The goat bones look more like they were broken that way, rather than chewed on. That goat kid is smaller than some of the rabbits we used as "baggies", when we couldn't find any game. The fact that the hole and damage is all continuous, makes it look like bird of prey damage too. They typically make one hole and work through it, expanding it as necessary. Keith
