The dictionary definition of humus is that it is partially decayed plant and animal matter; basically what you make in a compost pile. Of course, you wouldn't add animal matter to your compost pile, because of the stink and attracting vermin but, in the wild, if an animal dies in the woods, it just stays there and decays, and becomes part of the, well... humus.
