Hippo: Wild Feast Live brings you an amazing insight into the rarely-seen world of nature's food chain...LIVE! Bringing the food chain to life, this live experiment allows you to watch as an entire ecological system emerges around the enormous Hippo carcass. Streamed 24/7 using a host of cutting edge technology, we'll present the food chain in action live as the wild animals of Africa come to feast.
Though the hippo looks dried out there is still plenty of food inside and the crocodiles have been stretching into the cavity to feed. Many insects also feed at night, including crickets. Some crickets are predatory and eat the maggots around the carcass whereas others stay on the carcass itself. The smell of the decomposing carcass is caused by bacteria which produce gases. These gases travel huge distances and attract insects which sense them using their antennae. There could be 100 different insect species on the carcass.
