Why aren’t the woods just chock full of bones?

410 views

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?

My cat will eat the bones of virtually anything he comes across. Have a look at a cat’s molars some time, their jaws are legitimately bone-crushing machines. Many predators consume carcasses bones and all.
