Spider crabs, a meter across, still pick at the last putrid remains. 宽达1米的蜘蛛蟹仍然在采集这最后的残羹剩饭
The crabs will have to fast, until the next carcass drifts down. 蜘蛛蟹必须尽快吃完.直到下一个畜体落下之前
Over the next few hours there'll be frenzied competition between scavengers of all kinds to grab a share. 在接下来的几个小时里, 这些食腐动物会尽情分享这份大餐

until the right sized meal turns up. 直到合适的猎物出现
Scavengers on the other hand, have to move around to find their food. 食腐类动物则需要到处寻找食物
