DAY TWENTY-TWO: Thursday, 10-9-08
If you're not into dead pigs, you don't want to look at these. Naturally.
| The whole pig. From this angle, it doesn't look too different from what we're seeing with the webcam. |  Whole pig 1 Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| It's been chilly at night, and obvious changes are slowing down. |  Whole pig 2 Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| You can see lots of bones. And the skin has dried out and thinned. |  Pig's shoulder Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| These holes are appearing in the skin on the pig's shoulder and back. I'm not sure if something's eating them, or if it's just the skin breaking down. But my money's on bugs. |  Holes Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| The back half doesn't look too different either, but you can clearly see the pig's spine now. |  Back half Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| This is what's left of the pig's face. That ear is just as perky as it was the day we put the pig out. |  Face Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| The hooves are hardly changed at all. |  Hoof Courtesy Roger Barrett |
| Are these iridescent green bugs just broken up parts of flies? We found them in a few spots in the cage. |  Green Courtesy Roger Barrett |
