This was found by my detection dog and confirmed with DNA analysis, so it's as "research grade" as it gets!

Approximately ten inches. I used my iPhone and hand to get a reference for the length and then remeasured those together when I got to my office an hour later.

My first blunt-nosed, quite a unique little beast. This one was poking its head up above the grass when we spotted it. Many thanks to @tiwane for the planning, and, of course, @robberfly for the company and unbridled enthusiasm.

This guy was huge! And unfortunately dead from the mark near its neck no doubt. I included my hand for scale which I've measured is 8"
