When an animal dies in the desert, it quickly becomes a meal for many desert scavengers and has little chance to decay naturally. In some deserts the humidity is so low that if the body of an animal is able to avoid being eaten by a scavenger, it will desiccate - dry like a natural mummy and not decay due to the low levels of moisture in the air.
