Where do animals go?
I have pondered this question on several occasions, but am never satisfied with my answer. So, I am now bringing it to you for consideration. It will now be resolved or it might drive you crazy like me.
I live in Texan on about 1 ½ acres of land, (not a huge amount) but remote enough to be home to a wide variety of animals and birds.
We have many birds, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, you name it. Even get an occasional Roadrunner.
There are many forms of animals and birds which definitely outnumber the people living within the area. So, my question is – Why do you never see any animal or bird on the ground which has died of a natural cause? When you consider the number of animals, you would think that we all would often see them laying on the ground. But that is not the case, unless one gets hit by a car.
It's not that I would prefer to see them, but it kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?
