When I was a kid, we used to explore the woods all the time. I came across a couple dead mice or birds in my time, but they were always recently deceased.
But tons of animals live and presumably die in the woods. Why aren’t the woods covered in deer and bear and raccoon skeletons? Where are all the bones going?

To add:
Many forests throughout the world have omnivores like wild pigs or goats that’ll make short work of bones.
And in US forests, although you wouldn’t think so, cattle and deer do eat old bones (to get calcium). And sometimes even not so old bones for the bone marrow.
