They won't spring up to a sitting position from laying flat, but if they were sitting while rigor mortis was setting, they will be fixed in that position, until mortis relaxes or someone forces them flat.
Yes, you can move a person in rigor. It is just that they will be pretty stiff. Several people can get a body on a stretcher with a coordinated effort. But the same people could get a living person on that stretcher as well.
Rigor Mortis Sets In was created in 1972-11.
Much more quickly than in humans. I'm not a professional in either human or animal fields but here are some things that I do know: The smaller the (mammal) animal, the faster the respiration and the faster the heart rate. Rigor mortis is a process of muscles contracting because the energy production system is powered by oxygen. Logically, this means that when a small furry animal stops breathing, the oxygen will be lost from their systems more quickly than in a big animal, and so rigor mortis will be quicker. My cat died yesterday and it took less than two hours for rigor mortis to set in, from last time seen up and walking around to when I got home from school and found him under the couch. While I worked at the zoo last summer, I dealt with many dead animals- for a baby caribou, it took closer to four hours, for pygmy rabbits, less than one. I find the logical processing of the situation sometimes takes away the hurt.
The answer is that muscles use ATP to relax, allowing the next part of the contraction process to occur. After death, a lack of energy causes a failure of muscle relaxation on a microsopic level and so a stiffness. Rigor Mortis is caused by lack of ATP which causes tight binding of myosin 2 heads to actin. This doesn't last long, however, as the muscles quickly decompose and become soft again.

The amount of time it take for rigor mortis to set in depends on the size of the dog. Normally, rigor mortis takes 12-24 hours to set in after a dog has died.
12 hours
When rigor mortis occurs and how long it persists depends on the temperature of the animal's body as well as that of its surroundings. Owners may or may not encounter this phenomenon when their pets die. It is not the contraction of muscles after death but a chemical reaction that results in the hardening of protein filaments in the muscle fibers within 6 to 12 hours and then relaxes those muscles again in 18 to 36 hours.
Rigor Mortis, a stiffening of the muscles, usually starts to take place at around 3 hours after someone is dead with full rigor occurring at about 12 hours after death. After the 12 hour mark the rigor slowly ceases and at around 72 hours rigor disappears.

Mortuary - where preparation of the dead is conducted Mortician - person who prepares the dead Rigor mortis - the stiffness of a dead body that sets in shortly after death Morgue - storage for dead bodies Mortality - knowing you are going to die Mortify - relates to deadening or destroying organic matter
Most of the time because of rigor mortis. A condition that sets into the body after one has become deceased that causes the muscles to stiffen. Also rot and decomposition has a lot to do with it. When pieces are falling, or have fallen off it makes running difficult.
It's because they only have one muscle, that bends in that direction. When a human goes through rigor mortis, we don't contort in angles because we have two sets of muscles in our arms and legs. Spiders don't, so when they die their muscles constrict, and their legs curl up.
The first process to happen to the human body postmortem is cooling, where the body becomes the temperature of the surrounding environment. Then rigor mortis sets in, which is the tightening of the muscles making the body stiff. Then lividity occurs, which is the discoloring of the skin. Finally postmortem decomposition sets in and the body begins to decay.

It depends what caused the ferrets death - some ferrets die in their sleep - except they would be cold to the touch and rigor mortis sets in - their body would be stiff.advice from other contributors:it depends how it died if it got shot t would have a patch of blood and wouldn't be breathing.old age well that's just sad :( it would be on its side and not breathing
