Scientists find out why animals visit elephant carcass sites more often
An international team led by a scientist from the University of California, Santa Barbara studied 40 elephant carcass sites and found that the remains alter soil composition and animal behavior for years. Ammonium concentrations near fresh remains were on average 31 times higher than in control plots, and impalas and lions fed there about three times more often — an effect that lasted more than seven years.
