The proximity of vertebrate fossils to the crab fossils suggests that they may also have scavenged vertebrate carcasses. |
In May, a processing plant in Carthage Missouri began turning turkey guts, feathers, blood and carcasses into an oil alternative. |
Once having learnt to scavenge carcasses, the classic piranha feeding behaviour could have followed soon after. |
Goats' carcasses hung from racks in front, and black metal pots shaped like deep woks were set above charcoal fires. |
The carcasses of ospreys, white-tailed sea eagles, deer, black and white storks and herons are also being found. |
Fresh killed carcasses were then railed to Wellington for freezing and processing or rendered down on the site for tallow. |
