What happens to a hawk when it dies?
When a hawk dies, its body undergoes the process of decomposition. After death, the hawk's cells begin to break down, releasing enzymes that start to digest its tissues. Bacteria and fungi then further break down the remains, returning nutrients to the ecosystem. Over time, the hawk's body will decompose completely, leaving only its bones behind.
Is a harris hawk a secondary consumer?
