With the eyes set apart—and not facing forward—suggests a herbivore. If it's a Beaver, who'd lost his incisors, he would have starved to death. The surface of the remaining teeth would be a good indicator of his former diet.
Is there a pond nearby, with running water?
As to Shakespeare, I had a similar experience. I was in a buddy's auto repair shop, and picked up a dusty "York" A/C compressor frame. As it was empty of internal parts, and resembled a human skull, I commented, "Alas, poor York".
My buddy, who would normally like a good "turn of phrase" was left speechless, but did nod approval.
