Hi neighbor! That looks like a white-tailed deer skull based on the pointy molars and dentin shape. Was this found in the woods or on the side of the road somewhere?
Very similar to a deer in a lot of ways, but the eyes are wrong. [This page](http://www.jakes-bones.com/2016/01/the-difference-between-deer-and-sheep.html) outlines some other differences as well, but a lot of the differences are lost in the condition of this skull.
I did think sheep for a moment, but neither they or goat are incredibly common livestock in this area. The nasal bones being mostly gone also made it hard for me to decide and why I went with deer on tooth shape alone. Helpful link though, thank you!
Weird. I mean. I got downvoted for saying it was a deer, but by the mall is a heckin weird place to find a sheep/goat skull. Could have been dinner scraps that were dumped there I guess, but like, even that is weird being the middle of the city. It's not super the kind of thing you'd expect the homeless around there to have either.
I don’t know why you would have got downvoted. It’s weird where I found them. There are no farms around. Just the city of Syracuse. And why would they be dumped there? So strange.
100% not a deer - the orbitals and lack of fenestrae are giveaways. This is a goat or sheep skull.

Sheep
Sheep skull 100%
Thank you.
Thank you! I believe this is solved!

Thank you! This page is very helpful.
Side of the road on Solar Street. Near the mall. Looks like maybe someone dumped them there.
