oh it looks cruel !
I didn't know what Herpestes looked like and searched the internet. then I found the answer at WiKi, I think.
So it is probably an 'Ichneumon' (Herpestes ichneumon), because they live in southern Spain and Portugal.

In ancient Egypt the Ichneumon was revered as a sacred animal (in French it is called rat des pharaons, "Pharaoh's rat") and can be found in numerous frescoes and reliefs.

P.S. Actually this animal is useful because it also catches poisonous snakes...
and I could almost see one hanging in its mouth

and here is a nice collection of pictures

Xata club has replied to aNNa schramm club
Thanks for all these interesting infos, I didnt know about the Egyptians. Here we have maybe too many of them, nature seems unbalanced since ecologists started to protect this or that, they thought they were doing well but the result is no good and some species are disappearing therefore. Nature has its laws that humans don't always understand.

Hi Isabel
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice find. Maybe abandoned by a large bird of prey.
I enjoyed this discussion as to what it is!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Xata club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
That would be an option as we have eagles here, but eagles take preys to their nesting sites usually they don’t drop once they catch.
Glad you enjoyed Peter
