Dinosaurs Show the slow decay of dead dinosaurs ...

Your Feature Request / Idea
It would add a touch of realism if the dead dinosaurs in your enclosures, that you choose not to remove with the off-shore choppers, would slowly decay over time, eventually becoming just bones. This would be much better than them just disappearing over time.

Yes!

Then you could have the dinosaurs gnaw on the bone or something like that.

Also fly sound effects on dead dinosaurs who are dead for quite a while!

Expanding...dead dinosaurs should have this progression:

1. Recently dead: small negative dinosaur rating, carnivores can safely scavenge from the carcass.
2. First signs of decomposition: carnivores still scavenge, with risk of disease, bigger negative in dinosaur rating.
3. Rotting corpse: The worst dinosaur rating can get for a single dinosaur, possibly the rating of the animal alive in negative numbers. Carnivores won't try to scavenge, but it's still a possible source of disease.
4. Bare bones: Finally, when only the skeletal remains remains its dinosaur rating is 0 and there's no scavenging or disease risk anymore, so it can be kept as a tombstone/decoration

The more details to the game, the richer it would be. I'd love to see some new "ambient/atmospheric" additions.

+1 to this idea

I suggested a while back that you could use groups of compys as corpse disposal. Maybe this would mix well with the aforementioned suggestion.
