Pork/Beef storage conundrum

If I buy a beef and a pork steak and put them in the fridge, within a few days the pork starts lifting whilst the beef matures nicely. Why is this? Is it some native bacteria? If so why can't it live in beef?

Probably something to do with beef being red meat and pork being white. Red meat gets hung and goes all gamey; white meat goes rancid. Nice term you use - "lifting".

Thanks Elfin, but i'd like something a bit more informative. I've already found that red meta 'hangs' whilst pork 'lifts' Why???
