The rotting process of a tortoise.

This picture shows a scene of a tortoise that has rotted and being infested by a lot of maggots ,green fly,bacteria,germs and many other micro-organisms.i think that the tortoise has been there for a long period of time already as parts of its body have already been sort of 'eaten ' by the organisms as mentioned just now.The legs are gone and part of the head is also eaten and this will help to increase the amount of carbon dioxide release into the environment as decomposition produce carbon dioxide and water.
