It took 190 days to reduce the body to a skeleton. Must not have been good eating.
Recently a deer died in a cultivated field just down the road. By the second day it was a skeleton. The third day the skull was still there. Couple days later, nothing.
On our property we find this all the time. The only thing remaining is the fur. Some animals, such as beaver, the claws are left, maybe the tail.
Crows, eagles, coyotes & turkey buzzards to the bulk of the work. From a forensic point of view, I just can’t see how the cops can find a body after just a few days.
That is probably the idea, too.
They probably expect animals to remove parts of the corpse which can help understand the process.
Dead full grown horses are reduced to hide and a few larger bones in pretty short order around here. The coyotes and buzzards make short work on them.
