Why don't you see dead squirrels every where?

Question

okay, this might be a weird question, but i thought about it today in biology, so out side you see plenty living animals (birds, squirrels, snakes, ect., )but they cant live forever, so why don't you see plenty of dead animals every where? do the voltures get to them or do there bodys just decomposes really fast?

Answer 1

Maybe voltures do get them.

Once in a while you'll see a dead animal

but barely. Its actually a good thing to me.

Maybe the pets where I live are healthy.

Answer 2

Squirrels, natures little speed bumps.  

Answer 3

Because other animals take them away to eat.

That's the circle of life.

So if a squirrel dies in the UK, a fox or a badger will come along and eat it.

If it dies somewhere without these creatures, it'll most likely die in a bush and decompose, hidden, and quickly.
