Passaltivolus vulgaris (Common Soaring Sparrow) consuming an organ from a dead animal. It used it's beak to tear open the animal's skin and excavate it's insides. It snatched the organ before larger lizards could deny further access. Quickly various animals converge on the corpse. Shown here are Sepulcommunalis (Communal Buriers) (yellow), a communal descendant of the Nicrophorus americanus (American burying beetle) which are still extant amongst them (orange). If enough communal buriers claim the corpse first they can collectively keep larger animals away by swarming and biting them. Some have landed and are searching the ground for an unclaimed corpse. Others are in flight slowly searching around for the source of the scent. Descendants of bee-eating lizards and micro lizards wait and scurry around. Usually such tiny insect-eating lizards only get scraps once larger animals are finished feeding, but even those scraps are nutritious and worth waiting for.
