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?

This is literally the premise of this video when talking about dead animals in general: [https://youtu.be/VU1wWQaXmRI](https://youtu.be/VU1wWQaXmRI)
Or this one that is about bones, specifically: [https://youtu.be/m8CE0qQeoTg](https://youtu.be/m8CE0qQeoTg)
it’s called osteophagia.
And some strange dad just let a deer decompose in his yard, including a time-lapse and commentary from his kids and wife: [https://youtu.be/9twFI210maw](https://youtu.be/9twFI210maw)
