And here in southern France there are vultures which feed on animal corpses. Farmers have special arrangements where they can leave dead sheep for the vultures. And on these corpses scientists rediscovered a fly whose larvae feed only on marrow. It used to be very common when horses where the main form of transport and was thought to have died out.
What a splendid bunch of scientists ! Thoroughly enjoyed the matter-of-fact explanations.
Thanks. was a hugely enjoyable, if smelly, experience.
