Past experiments in this area showed high shark activity so two pigs were placed; one caged and one exposed. This video features the experiment that was deployed on Feb 26, 2012. Caging successfully prevented sharks from accessing the body so the carcass was colonized within minutes by small arthropods called amphipods, or 'sea lice'. These rapidly became several centimetres thick on the body and entered the carcass via the orifices, eating it from the inside out. The amphipods became so numerous that they covered the entire cage and bars and competitively excluded all other arthropods such as the big Three Spot Shrimp. In just a few days the carcass was entirely skeletonized and the amphipods lost interest and left. Then the Three Spot Shrimp returned to pick at the carcass, eventually removing all the cartilage. After a few days a Giant Pacific Octopus was curious about the cage, scaring off the shrimp. The experiment is led by Dr. Gail Anderson and Dr. Lynne Bell (Simon Fraser University).

When they do occasionally herd up, it is most often, but not always, in the middle of winter. This is generally believed to be for probably 1 or 2 reasons. 1: as group survival tactic against wolves and/or 2: limited winter-browse naturally clumps moose seeking out the best of the scarcer winter-feeding areas. In this clip, there is no snow to limit browse exposure, and in Maine, with over 90 reported sightings of wolves since placement on the Endangered Species list, only 2 have been documented, but they had coyote DNA as well, being wolf-coyote hybrids. I don't know why these Maine moose (as many as 20) are showing herd behavioral characteristics, but the cameraman says they are eating clover. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=266_1364414111 bgwrkr Moose herd moose, herd
