Scientists Sank Pig Carcasses to Study Deep-Sea Scavengers
Original: Scientists Dropped Pigs Into The Deep-Sea, Here’s What Ate Them
Marine scientists lowered pig carcasses into the deep sea to observe which animals feed on large fallen carcasses on the ocean floor. Footage from the experiment shows deep-sea scavengers, including sharks and other bottom-dwellers, swarming the remains within hours. The stunt-style experiment is drawing wide attention for revealing how nutrients from large animals cycle through deep-ocean ecosystems.
Why now: The dramatic footage of deep-sea scavengers devouring the carcasses is fascinating viewers curious about life in the ocean's depths.
