Scavengers can't live after drying. As we all know, fish can't leave water for a long time, let alone after drying. Even African lungfish, which have strong survival ability, wrap their body surface with body fluids, and let themselves go to sleep, waiting for the rainy season to come before reviving. If dried in the sun, the cells and tissues in the body will die, so it is impossible to survive.

Scavengers can survive after drying, probably because their body surface is relatively hard, and after dehydration, their body surface is contaminated with dirt, which makes them look like they want to dry in the sun. But they didn't really leave the water for too long, and they didn't turn into dried fish, so they could survive when they entered the water again. Although the scavenger's vitality is tenacious, any fish will not survive after being dried in the sun, so the breeder can observe it carefully.

Scavengers die when buried in the soil, because unlike African lungfish, they can't secrete mucus that makes them sleep, and they can't leave the water for too long, so when buried in the soil, they will die.

But scavengers have tenacious vitality. If they are buried in the soil in a short time and then dug out and put into the water, they may not die.
