About as long as it takes for any small mammal to decompose. But this depends significantly on the condition of the body (e.g. have scavengers gone over it) and the environmental conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature, insects) around the body.

De composers make nitrates and other minerals from the plants and animals they decomposed, and this helps the animals live longer. The nitrates and other minerals are very nutritious.

Decomposers that break down dead animals and plants and that live in the desert include termites and dung beetles. Ants, bacteria, yeast, and fungi are decomposers that are found in the desert.

its a consumer

The FOUR soil decomposers are..

-Bacteria

-Worms

-Organisms

-Fungi

Sea animals the main sea animals that are decomposers are crabs and shrimp. Both crabs and shrimp comb the sea floor in search of things to eat.

They process dead matter down to the simpler substances that plants can use to synthesize fresh, new life. and if they were not living our earth would be filled with dead plants and animals and the jungles and every thing would stink

Detritus means any rock fragments or disintegrated material that has been broken or worn away from a larger mass. This breaking away may occur by accident or by erosion, through wind, water or glacial ice.

Another word for decomposer is biodegrater.

Decomposing animals eat dead animals.

No, a decomposer a living thing that eats detritus, or decomposing plants and animals, but scavengers are animals that feed on carrion, or parts of dead animals. Decomposers break down organisms, but scavengers do not.

No. If anything, scavengers supply energy to the decomposers. Scavengers eat dead animal carcasses, and then leave the rest. Decomposers let out strong enzymes that break down the carcass until there is nothing left but H2O, CO2, and nutrients which the decomposers absorb for energy.

No

Seaweed, crab , plankton and smaller animals like shrimp.

a whale is not a decomposer.

it is a decomposer

To be exact it is a teritary consumer.

Decomposer in the ocean

Butterflies are not decomposers. They consume only living things, not dead things. That makes them a consumer, not a decomposer.
