This Is Why You’ve Never Seen Dead Animals Around You

I live in the middle of a city, and the only reason I ever notice dead animals is because of a murder of crows cawing signaling that there’s a meal nearby

[@hemlocktea6643]

There's a dead crow in my front yard. Been working too hard too tired to bury it

[@lovehamketsu3357]

The first time I saw a dead animal is when it got hit by a car on the street a squirrel BTW the most common to end up there

[@ivoryowl]

@@hemlocktea6643 Don't touch it! Crows are very smart, social creatures, but they also possess a vindictive streak. They can tell people apart and remember their faces. If they see you with one of their own in your hands, and it is no longer living, they will assume it was your fault and start chasing you and attacking you! This happened to a man in India, who tried to help a young crow who got stuck a fence. Unfortunately, the poor thing must have been stuck for a long time because it died shortly after in his hands. The crows saw this and have been following and attacking him since, for several years now! Every time he leaves the house they hound him, and only him. So, don't touch it.

It’s weird that you guys don’t see much dead animals while I have see many from childhood from dog to cats and even once in a zoo the had two lion’s and a lion cub died from food poisoning. There was more but the closest the zoo son after this was a zoo trip from my high school

My grandmother was friends with people at the DE Natural History Museum. She was a wildlife artist and got permission to look at their stored specimens, the ones not on display, for her wildlife drawings and paintings. I spent the first six or seven years of my life visiting the museum frequently (no, I wasn’t allowed “behind the scenes”) and it’s part of what got me interested in animals and science at a very young age.

Anyway... i guess its true that Locals never really go to see "touristy" things in their own city Haha like for Philly.. im 30 and i STILL have not seen the Liberty Bell LAMO EDIT: (i dont think tourist is the right word im looking for but its 6AM and dont care lol)

[@kellybraun7048]

@@akiramatoi4158 I know what you mean. There’s a lot to see between DE and Philly. I went to college just north of Philly and we took advantage of the trains and college discounts to visit a lot of museums, some with special college days, some for assignments. I haven’t seen the Bell yet either. 😂 The Delaware Natural History Museum is in Greenville, across from Winterthur, a historical estate with grounds and museum/house. Then there’s Hagley Museum and grounds, they have a great 4th of July fireworks show, comparable to Longwood Gardens’ fountain and fireworks show. Longwood also has a lot of musical and theater performances. Nemours Estate has an 1800s French garden (Longwood follows more English trends) and the mansion is fascinating-I only learned about this one because my in-laws wanted to see it. 😆 Basically, most of the DuPont estates have become historical sites and museums, each with their own special attractions and events.

[@mgguygardening]

As a hunter, when we "gut" an animal such as a deer at the site of the kill, we leave the entrails in the woods where we've cleaned the animal. The next morning, nothing is left. Wolves, coyotes, and other animals take care of it.

[@OldschoolRed]

Hell by the time we got back from waffle house after the morning hunt there would be no guts left at the gut and doe head dump site. Ha. Them vultures would be circling before we finished hanging up and quartering the deere.

[@wasidanatsali6374]

Where I live and hunt the report of a rifle is like ringing a dinner bell for black bear and coyotes. I’ve heard impatient bears in the bush around me breaking sticks and woofing and been surrounded by coyotes, waiting on me to get done field dressing a deer. One time I shot a wild hog on my farm and by the time I walked to the barn to get a tractor and drove back this brute of a black bear was already hauling that hog up the mountain.

I've seen dead animals in ditches and on the side of the road many times and not always as skeletons. I had a field that was flooded and dried up and even saw dead fish and pollywogs. It made it easy for snake to get food. Ants, bees, and wasp are common but small so less likely to notice.

[@alucardnolifeking789]

[@littlejourneyseverywhere]

I'm a bone collector and the stretch of first next to our home belongs to the city. Deep inside is a field where the department of transportation dumps the carcasses of deer that were hit by cars. So when we go hiking through the woods it's pretty normal for us to find bones that coyotes and other scavengers have carried from the field. On the other side of the forest is a separate field that is used as a runoff area and sometimes there will be carrion there as well. We also have coyotes, foxes, wild turkeys, eagles, Hawks, and all other manner of different predators and prey that call the forest home so it's not unusual at all to find carcasses and bones or hair left behind.

[@monkemode8128]

I'm just curious, what do you collect the bones for?

[@littlejourneyseverywhere]

@@monkemode8128 A few different things really. I work on several different citizen scientist projects collecting field data on local species and correctly identified bones and carcasses are just as valid a way to track species migrations and spreads as living creatures. For example I'm working on a project that has been tracking the spread of the Lonestar Tick up the eastern side of the US. Other things I collect them for are, when it's a species legal to do so, I paint and sell the skulls and bones as local artwork. My household also follows a naturalistic faith path so animals were considered sacred to us so they are sometimes used religiously as well. ❤️

[@ivoryowl]

About mass deaths poisoning the soil... That actually answers a question I didn't know I had; why ancient battlefields are always depicted as dead and barren after major battles. Putting aside the trampling of a thousand feet and hooves, vehicles and explosives, you'd think all the bodies would release nutrients unto the soil, contributing to the health of that place, but it's the actual opposite. Basically, war and wanton dead is like a sickness that poisons the land for a long time. No wonder people believed the land was cursed...

An animal here or there won't turn the soil bad, on the contrary.

[@OG_BiggusDickus]

Just had a thought, what if bushes that cover and created dark places evolved over time to cash in on the animals near it looking for a dark cosy place to die? If plants can evolve to be eaten and spread by certain species or polinated by certain species, I dont think its unfair to assume some plants could over time evolve to cash in on a animals instinct to find a dark cosy place to die.

[@margodphd]

Few animals in the wild die of old age or disease - they usually are killed and eaten before that happens.

[@OG_BiggusDickus]

@@margodphd alot of animals die from disease as well, and animals who escape after being seriously wounded find cozy places to hide and die, I think you're making an assumption as well that most animals are killed and eaten. They live much shorter lives in the wild than they do in captivity and many predators, for example wolf hunts are successful only between 3-14% of the time. There are other predators with higher success rates but if you look around at predator success rates alot of them range from less than 10% to 40% but there are some outliers like African wild dogs with an astounding 80% rate. Anyway with success rates across many animals being low to middling coupled with the much shorter life in the wild, it's an unfair assessment to say most of them are killed and eaten. I suspect a much higher number of prey animals die from disease and old age than you believe an they almost all universally look for a dark place to shuffle off their mortal coil. Especially song birds and such, the density of both the prey animals population and predator population helps as well, if there are fewer predators and more herding prey like deer, or elk are probably much more likely to die from old age or disease, because other less fortunate members may be captured an it likely isnt the only animal in the herd suffering form old age an disease. An even still if we assume, most are being eaten by predators before getting sick, dying from old age, or even starvation. I don't think that negates the possibility that some plants and bushes have evolved to create those dark interiors animals like to curl up and pass away in, it's pretty well documented that most dying animals will go out in search of a dark quiet place to curl up an pass away, it seems like anywhere you go nearing the end of fall there is dead songbirds under bushes, or Canadian geese or ducks to name a few I've seen myself.

[@nickyoung1214]

Steve, that must be why there is never any Bigfoot bodies found, right?

[@johnswoboda9809]

Interestingly enough, this is exactly the main theory proposed by a lot of supporters of "unidentified ape species" explanation for what Bigfoot is if it indeed real. I gotta tell you from personal experiences both as an avid camper and hiker since I was a kid and having worked for my local County Parks Dept for 15 years in Central New Jersey, you'd be absolutely shocked at how fast even a good-sized deer can carcass can virtually disappear if it's even a little bit away from a road margin or frequent human activity. The other things to consider that were not mentioned are how quickly the ground on which remains (typically scattered skeletal elements) night be found can change - grasses in open areas and underbrush in wooded ones grow incredibly quickly and can easily conceal remains, and with leaves and other natural debris like bark and twigs falling often, it's not uncommon for bone and other remaining bits to be covered over fairly fast and then become part of new layers of topsoil as organic plant matter decomposes. A fascinating and plausible theory for sure. As for if they're real - I think it would be cool, absolutely, if nothing else just for the thrill of somebody proving the existence of a new major species. If I ever see one, I'm let you know, but being in the Garden State the most commonly encountered exotic wildlife here are the "Jersey Shore" wannabes that seasonally migrate down from the Five Boroughs lol...

It was pretty heartbreaking to see the carcasses of so many largemouths, especially humongous ones in the 6 to 8 pound range, floating around or up on the shore. The didn't stay around long. I don't know what other animals feasted on all those dead fish but I did witness turtles, especially snappers, having a field day. After a couple of days there were only a few fish skeletons to be seen. Soon those disappeared. Anyway, glad I stumbled onto your video. I've always wondered why people never see larger carcasses like bears or moose for example. I've spent a lot of time in the woods throughout my life and have always thought that i should have run across a few of those in that time.

I used to see scavengers picking up chicken heads all the time back in the hood. Usually around 3am near a stop sign.

Weird questions... Most people go around city areas, and well yeah, you don't see dead animals there, because there's corpse and roadkill disposal services. But i see dead birds around areas with cats pretty often, and dead cats on the road occasionally. Dead bugs i see all the time, and well, i don't really have much animals around me, i live in a somewhat desert area, and all i really have aside that are rats and snakes, which live and die in the spiky brushes for the most part so i don't see those.

Me and my brother once went walking around the forest behind our house and stumbled upon a cattle farm that I assume had a very bad coyote problem as we saw a cow that was deceased with a giant hole eaten into the stomach area, there were cow legs scattered around the area, etc. I'm not sure if the cow was sick and died from natural causes or was put down and left for the scavengers but as a young boy I had never seen such a sight lol it was wild and I actually got scared thinking that the coyotes would come eat me and my brother

To answer your question i see dead animals everyday by our doorstep cause of my brother's cat. They range from dead flies and other bugs to small animals like mice, moles, and baby birds, to bigger animals like chipmunks, squirrels, birds, rabbits (mostly little ones), and sometimes an occasional snake (yes my brother's cat pics fights with little snakes like garter snakes (little ones cause he will never mess with bigger ones)). But he's been hanging out indoors lately so i haven't seen very many animals outside yet except for the ones under the lobby porch that some of our neighbors have claimed as their own. I dislike our neighbors because they are so noisy and it's worse when we live in an apartment above them. 😑😑
