Cool Monitor Lizard Decomposition
WARNING: Do not watch if you are squeamish.

This video is fairly gross, but scientifically it's very interesting.



Monitor Lizard Decomposition Time Lapse - Earth Unplugged - YouTube

Never thought I would say I'm thankful for flies, but imagine if they didn't exist. We would have dead animals lying around everywhere if it weren't for maggots.

Wow that is very fascinating. Quite the process with all the maggots and such. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Monitor Lizard Decomposition
Cool. I had no idea maggots did most of the work. I wonder what breaks them down underground though.
