Go on youtube and look for Body Farm documentaries. All the details you could possibly want.
Comment on What happens to my Corpse if I die in a Forest?
agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 5 months agoI’m aware that bodies will be eaten up, but I have to say, I have absolutely zero intuition, how long it will take.
Germany doesn’t have many wild animals left, so only foxes, birds, maybe badgers and rats are left to eat larger chunks. They’ll not exactly eat you in one go.
So, how long are we talking from body to bones? Weeks? Months?

According to an article from WaPo that I found after a quick Google, Germany has around 1300 wolves. So, hey, they could eat you too!

Don’t think it’d even take weeks. It wouldn’t be just be a couple of foxes or badgers, it’d be all of them for miles around. Scent travels a long way. Then on top of the larger (by European standards) animals, lots of birds eat carrion.

Do you think I could speed up the process by feeding myself into a wood chipper?
