Strange Deaths

Recent news headlines have brought us stories of large numbers of animals that have mysteriously died.

While still unsolved, the deaths of thousands of birds in two states and an estimated 100,000 dead fish in Arkansas have had no shortage of "explanations."  Wildlife experts and bloggers alike have presented their opinions ranging from simple acts of nature (lightning strikes) to conspiratorial (secret weapons-testing programs of the defense department).

Whatever the actual cause may be, these types of events are certainly not unprecedented. Read about other mass animal deaths, many of which are still unsolved.
