Scientists Sank Pig Carcasses in the Deep Sea to See What Eats Them
Original: Scientists Dropped Pigs Into The Deep-Sea, Here’s What Ate Them
Marine researchers lowered pig carcasses to the seafloor to study deep-sea scavengers, documenting how quickly sharks, hagfish, amphipods and other creatures consume the remains. The footage shows swarms of scavengers stripping the carcasses within days, offering a rare look at how food reaches life in one of Earth's most barren environments.
Why now: People are fascinated by rare footage of deep-sea scavengers feasting, and pigs are the standard human proxy in such forensic experiments.
