carcass

[low_delta]

When the snow melted, it exposed a dead deer, a couple of miles up the road. By thet time I noticed it, there was a hole in it side. A black hole, with a couple of white ribs covering it. Then another hole in its front, below the neck. I kept waiting for it to be removed, but it never was. The holes grew. Later on it started looking a little shrunken. Still furry, though. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed it had been moved. Maybe coyotes dragged it a few feet. The other day, I noticed it had been moved a little higher out of the ditch. Now it's a dried out carcass, mostly bone.

Whoo, gruesome!!!

I expect after it gets all nice and cleaned out you can keep the skull!! Oh wait--that would be me doing that. You probably don't want any der skulls, thank you very much:)

It doesn't look like it's going to get cleaned out. It looks all dried out and hardened.
