Decomposition of a Pig Underwater

Back in Jan 2009, I posted a video showing the decomposition of a pig. Here's a similar video, also showing the decomposition of a pig, but underwater this time. It was an experiment conducted in Feb 2012. The pig was in a cage to stop sharks from getting to it. Watch to the end to see the surprise visitor.

Wow! I really thought it would take a lot longer than 5 min for a whole pig to decompose like that.

That octopus was probably disappointed that there was no bacon remaining.
