Especially when you consider preservation of various burrowing animals. Paleocastor were often found articulated. Also a bear dog was found in it's den. It's skull was crushed so it's thought that maybe it's den collapsed on it. This experiment reminds me of experimental archaeology. Though i have heard of a few similar types of experiments, i don't think "experimental paleontology" will ever catch on. most interesting.
