how do i clean an animal carcass for the bones?

Answer 1

Put it in a large-hole mesh bag, and bury it. The microorganisms in the soil that would naturally take the meat off if it was left there would decompose the tissue. Place rocks on top of the buried carcass so that animals won't smell it and dig it up. Leave it there for about a month, then dig it up and it should be fairly meat-free. Then I'd suggest sun-bleaching it and sanitizing it.

Answer 2

i had been watch a TV show. In that show, some scientists use a kind of scavenger beetles that eat flesh from the carcass to clean the bone. they do their job clean, no flesh left from the bone. i forgot the name of the beetle, maybe you can search the net with the keyword flesh eating or scavenger beetle, order the beetles from your local pet store, and use them to clean the carcass

Answer 3

In the novel Gorky Park, the coroner was using beetles. Maybe the novel lists the name of the species. That or an anthill. I understand this is the preferred method over any chemical treatment as it doesn't harm the bones.

Answer 4

skin the carcass. set the bones in the sun. bleach the bones. and i may add, 'why are you cleaning animals for their bones?"

Answer 5

The larvae of dermestid beetles are often used to remove the tissue from bones.
