Skeletonization
Parly skeeletized pig, seven weeks after death

After death the body of an animal decomposes. This is a process that happens in several stages. Skeletonization is the last of these stages.In skeletonization, the last pieces of soft tissue disappear, or they dry up, and the skeleton becomes visible. By the end of the skeletonization process, all soft tissue will have been eliminated, leaving only disarticulated bones.[1] In a temperate climate, it takes about three weeks to several years for a body to decay to a skeleton. In warm climate, this process is faster, in cold ones it is slower.
