carcass

On a recent afternoon, more than 10 possum carcasses were piled up under one trap, set in a tree on the side of a road.

In the spring of 2023, horse carcasses emerged along the shores of South Tufa and nearby Navy Beach as the snow from a winter of biblical proportions melted.

He said that he and his daughter found the carcass with the skull already clean of skin earlier that afternoon.

We walked through tree branches, tangled vines and sharp hanging stalactites, over roots as thick as a human leg, and carcasses of birds, mice and God knows what else in varying states of decay.

Discovery of an animal carcass near the attack, and confirmation that bear tracks found nearby were left by a grizzly, support that conclusion.
