It doesn't take long.

a 250 pound hog is reduced to a few bones in 2-3 days down here.


Underwater or in general?
I've seen crows and other critter clean a deer to bones very fast,just didn't think underwater would be as fast,maybe crabs,seems gators would break it apart.



When I was in law enforcement I had to deal with a couple of floaters.

They decompose faster in the water than on land.

Add crabs, crawfish, gators, etc, and they don't stay recognizable long at all. Down to nothing PDQ.

Especially if the water is 95 degrees. Probably already reduced to bones by the time it flooded. Heck one day here theres a foot of sheet flow and a day later its gone.
Next day it rains two or three inches and its flooded again. Its the end of the monsoon season down here and the ground is saturated.
