I mean, if an elephant dies what do they do with the body?

    I have direct experience with this.

    In college, I got a job on campus in their Environment, Health, and Safety department. Mostly, I just calibrated fume hoods in labs.

    During my time there, a hippo at a nearby zoo passed away. I don’t want to be too specific because it can be a bit icky, but they essentially shipped it to us for incineration.

      Doesn’t sound icky. I would assume they used it for science. I’m surprised they burn them.
