| OK, Buzzketeers, here's the whole piggy. | Whole pig 1: Yes, it looks all flattened and dried out, but trust me: There's still PLENTY going on underneath. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| Different angle on the whole pig | Whole pig 2: It doesn't smell worse today, but it definitely smells different. Sort of sharper? Sweeter? And the smell now kind of sticks with you. I'm glad it's cool and there's a good breeze going. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| Where the head once was | Pig's face: Amazing. That's its ear -- about all that's left -- sticking up in the center of the photo. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
Pig's middle | Pig's middle: Those are dried up entrails at the lower left, and the bones of the pig's right foreleg in the lower right. You can also see a bit of its ear at the extreme top right. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| Back end | Back end: The pig's right back leg extends out of the photo at left. And those tufts of hair at the top are on what's left of the pig's back. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| Looking at the top, you'd think that most of the activity had ceased. | But you'd be wrong: There are still a ton of maggots at work underneath the body. You can see them wherever there's a hole going all the way through or a deep recess. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
Maggots in the cage corners | Little wanderers: Val, Aaron, what's going on here? Are these guys crawling away from the body to pupate? Or are they hungry, and in search of something else to eat? We saw lots and lots of them in all of the cage corners. Courtesy Roger Barrett |
