Show Me The Way
📽 by @Chipper_korbacher
I know it looks gross, and the entry point is unfortunate, but let’s be fair: there aren’t that many ways in for a scavenger without the ability to make a new one. If these birds had found the deer after a bear or a pack of wolves had previously ripped it open, they could probably have their pick. However, they are early, and the eyesocket requires minimal effort, so that's where they are drawn
The apex predator/scavenger dynamic is common in nature. Many scavengers depend on apex predators to break open carcasses. For example, some studies show that species like ravens often trail wolves, waiting for them to make a kill and tear into the hide, exposing flesh for easier access. Without that, they’re limited to softer entry points. Vultures, with stronger beaks, can sometimes pierce skin, but smaller birds like magpies rarely can.
