a six most epic in composition I've ever
done
today's the last day I'm picking up
bones in fact this was a dear full dear
on Saturday I have a dear and today is
Tuesday I don't know what that is
you don't want to film anymore so what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna just share
with you the entire process start to
finish every day let you know what's
happening what's decomposing oh my gosh
and then I'm gonna show you the
time-lapse so let's go back to the
beginning I just sign now this was the
first stage of decomposition and this is
the fresh stage
[Applause]
what do you think is it gross and they
hit it and the deer hit the mailbox and
it landed right over there and I moved
it here so should I put a camera above
it and time-lapse it is it doesn't think
so only about six hours after that I
decided I'm going to build this
contraption to do a time-lapse Oh leave
Falcon oh it's like bleeding everywhere
oh yeah it smells there we go
this is gonna be good kind of excited to
see how long it takes for this deer to
decompose I fenced it in so they're
predators can't have easy access to it
at the very least light over here to
keep consistency and lighting all right
now it starts time-lapse so that was
Wednesday when we started by Saturday
morning all you could see was a little
bit of maggots on this deer the whole
thing had bloated though that's what's
called the bloat phase by the end of the
bloat phase we get into the next phase
and that's when it gets really stinky
and I was really worried that's what's
called active decomposition and so
basically Saturday and Sunday and just a
teeny bit of Monday the maggots ate from
the tail all the way to the head
[Music]
at 8:00 Sunday it's day 5 weird stinky
look at this here here it is what you
can see on day 5 the maggots have
completely eaten into about halfway in
the body cavity it was incredible to see
[Music]
but it's also fascinating I think I can
handle another day incredible to come
and look at it once a day and this is
what we have right now this is Tuesday
check this out the other issue that we
have is we have maybe a hundred thousand
blowfly larvae which you've eaten the
entire deer they are now going to bury
underground they wait for it's like 140
hours and then they pupate out we also
have giant scavenging beetles which have
been going around and eating these
maggots you guys have all been waiting
for this here is the time lapse
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
I will say that after this whole ordeal
I have a greater appreciation for the
scavengers and decomposers that break
down animal tissue I thought it was
going to be way more disgusting than it
was and really in the end I was just
fascinated I would sit here and watch it
for minutes not that long but for a
while I just stand there and watch they
were focused on that deer and they
didn't really want to have anything to
do with me and way faster than I thought
I'm curious how long you thought it was
going to be if you liked this video and
