Kudos to you for capturing it all photographically! A few years ago, during Inupiat Day, one of the elders was teaching our students how to butcher a caribou. Almost immediately, it was evident that this particular caribou was infested with some sort of fly larvae. They were large (about the size of my thumb) and had been "planted" there as eggs along the spine under the caribou's skin. It was sad to realize that this poor animal had been suffering with the larvae for weeks before it was shot. Gives new meaning to the expression "makes my skin crawl." Scary stuff!!!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168363067158052454noreply@blogger.com
