In Ice Age 4, what's the significance of Scrat's bone disappearance?

This is a bit of artistic license on the part of Blue Sky's animators who did this to exaggerate the effects of water pressure on him.



In the short, Scrat is dragged under fairly rapidly by the rock, and so the water pressure exerted on him would build up extremely quickly and with great force. However, this being a cartoon, Scrat merely continues his effort to retrieve the acorn/map with his body crushed and floppy.
It's animation physics :)
