Marten Teeth

Marten teeth

Farmers say that martens don't really eat the flesh of rabbits and chickens, they just sink their vampirish teeth into the victims' necks and suck out their blood.

Rabbit Skull

Rabbit skull

Domesticated rabbits are popular on Kythera for their tasty meat. Wild hare is even more delicious, but now they are quite rare on the island, and are protected from hunters by law. This skull was found at the end of a wonderful meal in Kalamos.

Rat Skull

Rat, Rattus norvegicus

Old-timers say that the winter of 2003 on Kythera was the rainiest winter in memory; that must have had something to do with the rat population explosion. All summer long rats could be seen scampering across the roads at night, and many gardens and vineyards took a beating. This rat was found dead in an apothiki in Fratsia.

Rat Teeth

Rat, Rattus norvegicus
