I saw a show that put out a dead animal (deer? or as big as) in woods to see how fast it decomposed & they were to test how the soil was around it after it decomposed. Just a experiment. They came back less than a week later to see how far it got & the animal was infested with maggots. They showed maggots crawling in/out of every cavity & opening. It had so many inside, it looked like the animal was breathing!!! Soooo gross! All that was left to rot in the end was the fur & bones.
I don't know where it was they did this. Could be Africa or someplace tropical.
