What the fuck is wrong with people in that general direction, I remember another story of a young lad who got hit by a train and one of his severed limbs hit a woman and injured her. She sued the young lads family.
I think it was Germany, but I remember a story about a woman who struck a young man in her car, the parents didn't sue her, but she ended up suing them for the damage done to her car. The world is a messed up place.
EDIT: couldn't find the one I'm referring to but I found this one, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/driver-suing-the-teenage-boy-she-struck-and-killed-for-emotional-trauma-9292104.html
which is much worse, the kid in my story may have broke some bones but was otherwise okay.
I found a pony leg on a beach once, articulated like this. I was the middle of the night and it was covered in some kind of barnacles or something writhing in the dark, it was so gross it was interesting
Yep. There are dead bodies in the ocean. People swim in the ocean. This means that there is a ration of dead bodies to water in which we are comfortable swimming, the only question is, how small can the ratio become?
It was a back leg so it would have had to come from an unfortunate reverse-hippocampus with a fish head and front of it's body and horse hind legs and tail
As an Australian I was once driving down the hunter express way in NSW and saw a severed head of a horse on the shoulder. I'm guessing it was a brumby. How he ended up in such poor condition is beyond me 🤷
Omg that's disturbing. I know the Hunter express way well as well, used to drive from Sydney to Tamworth a lot. We're all used to like, roos, foxes, wombats, bunnies etc but a horse? Nah fam
I was just making a joke. It really depends on how you look at things--lots of things are simultaneously gross and beautiful, lol. I dunno which sea creatures you mean but there's a lot of terrifying, fascinating, beautiful and gross shit going on down there.
Haha, you've put it very well, simultaneously gross and beautiful; most of the Biology is like that, and about the deep sea creatures, well, a bit tired rn and there's a lot to uncover in terms of the creatures alone, but I was referring to how many of them rely on Marine Snow for nutrition, which just absolutely blows my mind, like that's the last stage of the cycle, all the organic detritus falling from the upper layers, all the decayed flora and fauna, ends up at the bottom of the sea floor, feeding almost alien like creatures is just so poetic to me!
Context :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_snow
Edit : I mean, as a child, I was fine with the fact how decaying works on the land but when I first learnt about marine snow I literally lost it, in a good way though
ERMAGAHD
Never heard of marine snow...also called "ocean dandruff", omg
it is kind of mind blowing. I've lived in Southern California, just 45 minutes from the beach all my life, been to lots of aquariums and similar places, but never learned about this. it is poetic, and honestly kind of scary. and a little gross, lol.
I grew up in the rural mountains and it was about 1/3 of a mile walk alone to get to my house after the bus dropped me off. I vividly remember one winter as a kid I decided to take a deer trail shortcut. The prints in the snow showed somebody else had walked their dog down there so I figured it must have been clear enough to walk. Halfway down I saw a "weird stick," approached it, realized it was a freshly severed deer leg, and felt panic run down my spine as I realized was standing in a deer-sized indent in the snow smattered with bits of fur and flecks of rust. I then immediately realized that the "dog" prints I followed down were actually pretty big and didn't have any accompanying shoe-prints. I'll never forget the absolute TERROR I felt the rest of the way home hoping that cougar wasn't stalking me!
Likely fell off the butcher waste truck. They tend to be open top and full to the brim.
One time I was waiting to pick up some meat and the butcher shop and a big cow leg fell out in the parking lot. I'll always remember the sight of the butcher in his apron, running after the truck waving the leg over his head. (because they were leaving without it.)
They stopped and he chucked it back onto the pile.
When canids eat they leave the limbs just like this. Upper Limbs completely separated from the body and enough of the gooey stuff left to leave it articulated.
There's not enough flesh in the hands/hoofs to be worth eating so they're left.
Happens with people eaten by wolves as well. It's very distinctive to canids (so dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc.)
Which part is misinformation please? Im studying this at university and would prefer to be up to date on my knowledge.
There's plenty of scholarly articles on candid scavenging that say exactly what I'm saying so I'm a little confused?
If you're interested in reading more on it I'd Suggest Haglund's 1997 article on 'Canid scavenging/disarticulation sequence of human remains in the Pacific Northwest' which discusses the stages of candid scavenging. It's on humans but suggests that the stages are the same for other large mammals as well. (Full warning the full text has some in detailed pictures of dead people)
But if you can point me in the direction of any other articles that'd be rad, always down to read more :]
Apologies, I should’ve specified the part about wolves eating people. That’s what I was specifically referring to. There are so few records of wolves eating people period, let alone make a statement about how they consume the carcass. We don’t need to be spreading the misinformation that wolves eat people.
I once saw a deer with three legs walking around in my neighborhood. We live where wildlife isn't an uncommon sight, but it was alone and limbless, so even though the injury wasn't fresh, I called our local environment hotline and got in touch with a ranger. She said not to worry, and told me with a chuckle that "deer can live very fulfilling lives as tripods."
So yeah, apparently if it breaks off right, they can just live like that.
I take this road to get to a warehouse my work owns to get our equipment. It also has rich people houses at the end of it. Even further of an explanation the people on this road have horses. I'm just hoping it's not one of theirs that possibly got killed by some wild animal. I live in Southern Oregon. Possibly a mountain lion, coyotes, or various other predators I'm guessing.
My work owns horses itself in a nearby field but all of our horses are accounted for so I'm pretty sure it was one of theirs. Non of the neighbors have contacted me back to confirm if it was theirs or not. Will update if you want.
I got the answer unfortunately. One of the neighbors Colt's passed away during a storm. The field it was in flooded and it must of gotten stuck in the mud or something? Just think of "Artax" from the neverending story... Anyways that's where the leg came from, a predator must of found it's corpse when the water levels dropped and took a souvenir. That's what I was told from the Colt's owner.
Damn. Thanks for the update! I found out how easy it is for them to go into shock & just give up in that situation. We came across quicksand one time when I rode competitively. We made it out with minor injuries, but I'll never forget one horse buried all the way with just it's front legs & neck sticking out. They did a good job of getting it out, but you could just see the poor thing shutting down & giving up.
Obviously you guys don't live in the country. This stuff shows up in my yard all the time. Lefotver from coyotoes, bobcats, or whatever else. My newfie will run around with the bones/half eaten legs. He loves it.
Yep. Southeast Texas here. When it's time to castrate bulls, there are tons of regurgitated nutsacks you find around the property after the dogs/animals have been after them.
Jawbones, femurs, whole legs, antlers, coyote skulls, wild hog bones, you name it, it's probably somewhere out there on the property and then eventually brought into the yard and then on to the damn porch.
My dog would argue that it's a stick. They she'd rub all over it and then spend the rest of her days attempting to bring it in the house and chew on it.
In my years of driving I’ve moved plenty of things out the road just so it wouldn’t be a potential hazard to others but why a stick? What made you get out to move a stick?
Samsung S21. It either takes the most high quality pictures known to man making 1 image = a terabyte or it will take the worst photo imaginable as if it came from a fisher price flip phone.
Funny story, growing up the old farmer beside us bought some old horses off a guy cheap. One hot day the air had a funk to it and we didn’t think anything of it until I seen my black lab running with a part of the leg and hoof still attached. Found the funk!
Alright since most people are hung up on the wording change the word "stick" to "branch".
Saw a "Branch" on the road and I got out of my truck to move said "Branch" and it turns out it was in fact not a "Branch."
I thought it was a big ol tree limb, or branch, or whatever you wanna call it in the road and out of courtesy I wanted to move it off the road so other cars wouldn't get damaged from hitting it.
Do you not have dogs? A walk in the forest near us will result in the dogs picking up every animal bone and carcass in a 2 mile radius of us. I once watched one of our dogs swim across a river to retrieve a horse carcass, he got it all the way into the water before accelting that no 15kg dog is hauling a 500kg horse through a river.
Where we walk the dogs looks like something out of Blair Witch with all the bird and fox skeletons we've hung from trees to keep them out of reach.
That's a horse's leg. The weird thing is that the hoof is immaculate, like it's been seen by a farrier recently. How does a horse that appears to be well looked after get dead and eaten, then bits left in the road?
I once was riding my bike along a ditch and glanced down at random. There was a full, fresh horse haunch + leg down in the ditch. My husband who grew up in the county explained that when horses die, it's often too expensive to deal with the body, so people cut them up and dispose of them in random places under cover of night to avoid a disposal fee. It was a horrible sight.
It probably got ripped off by a train and then some guy ate it
Sadly, that was my hometown.
Ahhh I you’re from bako lol
Wasco, actually. Scene of the crime.
*Me, a person from Bako, reading your comment then furiously attempting to reach my parents who still live there to make sure they're okay* 😅 Thanks for the heart attack my guy💀
I was just passing through
So was the train.
That’s my coworker’s hometown, too. She sent me one of the videos. So freaking nasty.
What the fuck is wrong with people in that general direction, I remember another story of a young lad who got hit by a train and one of his severed limbs hit a woman and injured her. She sued the young lads family.
Who else was she going to sue? /s
Why would she sue them in the first place?
I think it was Germany, but I remember a story about a woman who struck a young man in her car, the parents didn't sue her, but she ended up suing them for the damage done to her car. The world is a messed up place. EDIT: couldn't find the one I'm referring to but I found this one, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/driver-suing-the-teenage-boy-she-struck-and-killed-for-emotional-trauma-9292104.html which is much worse, the kid in my story may have broke some bones but was otherwise okay.
ive heard this story too many times already
Supposedly this is a reference to a story? I dont think ive heard this story before
Recently a man was hit and killed by a train and another man ate the dead man's leg. Edit: fixed at to ate. My apologies.
* It was a woman who was killed by a train.
meat more tender, shame to waste it
*Looks like meats is back on the menu boys!*
Does the difference really matter in this case?
OOOOH! Dude thats metal tbh
>at the dead man's leg. *ate
you can't just go giving out e's like they're free yo
Apparently there is video of said person dining on the leg…like a drumstick
You fucking degenerate. Never change.
Maybe OP is planning just that….

Apparently there are a lot of dead animals in the ocean that don't belong there.
I think they use them to attract sharks for divers and fishers (legs not whole living horses lol)
It’s a safe and legal thrill
[удалено]
Usually they are dogs or cattle that were on ships.
Including humans
There must be so many humans. I didn't even think of that.
Yep. There are dead bodies in the ocean. People swim in the ocean. This means that there is a ration of dead bodies to water in which we are comfortable swimming, the only question is, how small can the ratio become?
Isn't the entirety of the planet covered in fecal matter? The entire world is gross.
Especially shoes with feet in them

You saw a kelpie
[Wikipedia: Hippocamp (Mythology)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus_(mythology))
It was a back leg so it would have had to come from an unfortunate reverse-hippocampus with a fish head and front of it's body and horse hind legs and tail
Reverse hippocampus you say? Hmm
National Lampoon's Campus Hippo
Sound like a sea horse washed up
As an Australian I was expecting it to be a snake... think this is more horrifying
As an Australian, I have seen this horror a few times before
i haven't yet i am also a australian. i did find a spider in my backside tap.
I'm not an Australian yet. I haven't.
Your backside has a tap?

Nah - leg day just hits differently for different folks. OP clearly was in the middle of leg day.
I just saw a video on the Australian Cattle Dog sub about one burying a deer leg that it found. People just finding random legs all over.
I heard deer shed their legs and they grow back bigger.
That’s a horse leg.
Same thing, different flavor
One toe or two toe..
Never get out of the truck.
the circle of life is so gross
Not trying to patronize you, but look up what most of the deep sea creatures "eat", the circle of life is beautiful imo

Lol
Makes you wonder how it ended up there…
Likely fell off the butcher waste truck. They tend to be open top and full to the brim. One time I was waiting to pick up some meat and the butcher shop and a big cow leg fell out in the parking lot. I'll always remember the sight of the butcher in his apron, running after the truck waving the leg over his head. (because they were leaving without it.) They stopped and he chucked it back onto the pile.
If this is in the US I doubt it was a butcher truck cause that's a horse leg.
If people don’t treat their horses as pets, it’s probably a similar situation but a truck to the rendering plant instead.
Probably walked
Coyote
It fell off a horse...
Makes me wonder why this person got out of the car to move a stick.

There's not enough flesh in the hands/hoofs to be worth eating so they're left. Happens with people eaten by wolves as well. It's very distinctive to canids (so dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc.)
Horses have no muscle below the knee/hock, just a bit of fat, tendons/ligaments and bone.
Watch that misinformation.

Hoof-ever*
At least it wasn't a snake
Ive eaten one and im pretty sure you're supposed to throw the bone away so this checks out
My dog would argue that it's a stick. They she'd rub all over it and then spend the rest of her days attempting to bring it in the house and chew on it.
I once saw a stick on the beach that turned out to be a very long straight dead eel. This is definitely more impressive.

First picture: he's wrong. That's totally a stick. Second picture: oh....OHHHHH no!
Ewww.
That looks more like a horse leg, rather than a deer leg. Deer have black darker, toed hooves. This is a horse leg

For some reason when I saw the image I immediately thought it was a snake. I can’t tell what it looks like up-close lol.
Horse skipped leg day
The most confusing part of this to me is why one would get out of their truck to move a stick. A whole fallen branch? Sure. A little stick? Why?
What truck do you have that you have to get out to move a stick?
Funny story, growing up the old farmer beside us bought some old horses off a guy cheap. One hot day the air had a funk to it and we didn’t think anything of it until I seen my black lab running with a part of the leg and hoof still attached. Found the funk!
First time I saw a Newfoundland Dog, he was casually carrying one of these in his mouth.
In a way, aren't we all just sentient sticks with meat covering us.
well did ya move it?
NOOOOOOOOOO
You got out of your car to move a stick?
Ok so is it a horses leg?
Yes.
Thanks, wasn't sure, happy cake day!
Alright since most people are hung up on the wording change the word "stick" to "branch". Saw a "Branch" on the road and I got out of my truck to move said "Branch" and it turns out it was in fact not a "Branch." I thought it was a big ol tree limb, or branch, or whatever you wanna call it in the road and out of courtesy I wanted to move it off the road so other cars wouldn't get damaged from hitting it.
In your defense, it wasn’t the wording. People are fucking tool bags.
Damn my bad I misplaced that weeks ago, thanks for finding it though!
Why are you moving sticks out of the road in your giant truck?
There are houses at the end of this road + I take this road to get to a warehouse. I do it out of courtesy.
Oh deer.
Neigh (nay) ..I hope I conclude your joke.
Do you not have dogs? A walk in the forest near us will result in the dogs picking up every animal bone and carcass in a 2 mile radius of us.
