Death World creature quest

[X] get our meat in and burrow deeper after making sure we dont get flooded from rainfall after all this eat the rest of the meat.
[X] investigate- use our senses to see whats happening above while we work.

The burrow was supposed to be floodproof, but it doesn't look overly floodproof so I'm going to go with this just to be safe
 
Anyone else wondering if the eye actually belongs to a reptile or it is actually a very well fabricated disguise by a another scavenger like us to scare us away from meat?

I mean, in this type of environment, every scavenger has to have a high sense of awareness, and so there have to be some animals that abuse this sense right?

Give the man some time, I am willing to bet that he is coming out with an explanation right now.
Just lurkin' about to see what you guys come up with on your own. I'll post a bitty on the eye...eventually. :)

Facts Known:
Eye - Tells Lifestyle
Skull Shape - Tells General Diet / Lifestyle
Current Position - Lifestyle of Choice

Eye most resembles that of a gecko, so expect a gecko-morph type animal. Possible adaptations, just from what is visible in the picture alone is a nocturnal animal. Unlikely to be built for extensive digging so tunnels are safe. Gecko eyes are extremely adapted to nightlife, able to differentiate shades of colours by moonlight. General skull shape, from what is seen, tells of a ambush/short pursuit predator. Possibly has chameleon-type tongue for range option. Likely possesses a short burst of speed to overwhelm lesser prey, likely to be seen used on bad-wormy. Probably prefers insectoid-style prey, lack of bone-structure allows general pressure of jaws to eventually puncture exoskeleton through pure force. Bones are meddlesome in that while flesh can be torn off them, it takes longer for endoskeleton prey to die in gecko-prefered hunt style than it does exoskeleton prey.

Above ground is a no-go. Position on branch is telling, most likely adapted/prefers arboreal lifestyle in the trees and branches. Likely has gecko-style feet adaptation allowing for better mobility in branches/vertical surfaces. May use sticky feet to cling to larger prey's back, allowing it to bypass most limb weaponry, rodeo-style, to bite at neck. If such adaptation use is employed likely has jaw/teeth akin to the Sectatoad from earlier or more advanced serrated teeth. Fact that is visible on branch means lack of camouflage ability, or that such ability takes extreme amounts of time to come into affect like average chameleon.
TL;DR: Animal is probably nocturnal, signifying that current time in ecosystem is actually night. Good to know since we don't actually know time of day at this point. Also eye is extremely adapted to night life, picking up colours even in dim moonlight. More sensitive than human eye by x350. Arboreal lifestyle adapt. Ambush/Short Pursuit Predator akin to Tiger or Gecko.
