Every animal has a purpose on this planet. There are a lot of animals out there that eat other dead animals, this helps cut down on disease among the wild life. Wolves,buzzards are just a few of the meat eaters, others eat insects to keep the insect population down. It's natures way of controlling the forest and keeping it clean.

Thats because theese animals are eaten by the animals that are living in the forest in a very short time as the animals compete for food

Because one is rarely in the parts of the forest where the animal has died.
The opposite is true for the roads and streets.

You do. That's if you've gone into the heart of jungles. Large animals, much like human beings, don't want to be seen by all when dying of old age! And those dying from being eaten, are of course, not available for viewing after scavengers like hyenas, vultures & jackals have had their fill.

It is not so very had to find one - I've seen plenty. However, understand that you won't see as many as you will on the side of the rode because other animals are more likely to come and eat it if it is in their comfortable habitat.
Also, they are a lot harder to find when they aren't on the side of the road. They might as well have a sign on them to see them there.

nature is a great recycler. all dead creatures get eaten by a scavenger and what doesn't get eaten decomposes due to bacteria and insects. its the same thing that happens to fallen trees, just you see the process takes longer becuase its all due to the later and not being eaten first.

A dead animal is eaten very quickly.

forest is packed with scavengers and decomposers so with in a day or so it is completely disintegrated.
