What happened to the birds?Strange carnage in the Aude: hundreds of birds found dead for no reason on a departmental road
Several hundred dead birds intrigued Aude motorists this Sunday, January 1 in Lézignan-Corbières. For the time being, it is impossible to determine the causes of this carnage.
What happened for hundreds of dead birds to end up along road 611 linking Lézignan to Ferrals, in Aude? Since this Sunday, January 1, a snapshot taken by a motorist showing several dozen dead birds has intrigued many Internet users.
Look at this! ! At our neighbors Audois, a strange phenomenon took place today. At the entrance to Lézignan Corbières, hundreds of birds, obviously starlings, were found dead on the road. I hope someone was able to pick up some birds to have them analyzed to find out what they died from, because I wonder if our representatives will know or be able to make known the truth about this carnage.
Gérard Forcada, the mayor of Lézignan-Corbières, says that 'several hundred sparrows were found on the departmental road at the exit of the highway by my municipal police officers, lying about fifty meters'.
What could be the causes of this hecatomb? For the French office for biodiversity, contacted by our colleagues from 100%, it is first of all 'impossible that it is the consequence of a collision with a truck'. On the other hand, 'there is no high voltage line nearby', and the hypothesis of the Lézignan aerodrome, located nearby, does not stick either: 'no plane took off or landed due to weather conditions' and 'this type of bird collision is measured by flight recorders', assures the public establishment.

There's been a lot of mountain lion attacks, lately. I wonder if some or many of these are being spurred on due to hunger.Updated on: February 1, 2023 / 11:47 AM / CBS San FranciscoMountain lion attack 'very, very vicious;' Mother's bravery saves 5-year-old

When hungry, domestic cats can become very aggressive, and attack...Lack of territory and lack of game for the moutain lions?
One of our ducks got bonkers yesterday and started running around the pond. Thru the pond, wings motioning for faster speed. The rest of the flock and us kept our distance. That was going on pretty much whole afternoon into the night nonstop. We thought we were going to have to put it out of its misery, but lo and behold, this morning she was fine. Like nothing ever happened. Never seen anything quite like it.
Teenage girl killed in suspected shark attack in Perth’s Swan River
Australian police say 16-year-old jumped from her jetski to swim after possible dolphin sighting nearby
Australian police say 16-year-old jumped from her jetski to swim after possible dolphin sighting nearby
A teenage girl has been killed in a suspected shark attack in Western Australia after she jumped from her jetski into a river, police said.
The 16-year-old was pulled from the Swan River in Perth with critical injuries. Emergency personnel provided medical assistance at the scene but she died, said Insp Paul Robinson, of Western Australia police.
He said the victim was with her friends on jetskis. “There was possibly a pod of dolphins seen nearby and the young female jumped in the water to swim nearby the dolphins.
“The family weren’t there when this took place, however, her friends were and as you can imagine this is an extremely traumatic incident for anyone to witness so obviously we’re offering counselling services to anyone who did witness it or is affected by the incident.”
He said the fisheries department had advised him it was unusual for a shark to be so far down the river, which flows through Perth into the Indian Ocean.
“I’ve spoken to fisheries and water police and unfortunately we have no idea what type of shark it is,” Robinson said.
It is believed to be the first fatal shark attack in the Swan River since a 13-year-old boy was killed in January 1923.

Interesting, strange and fascinating behavior with so many birds in a street.
Wow this dog must have been pretty furious.
Two days ago an attack by another dog
The man attacked by two pit bulls outside of his Fort Worth home remains in the hospital after nearly a week.
The attack was relentless with the dogs biting Marcus Kizaza's hands, legs and face. Now, his family is seeking legal help to identify who could be held responsible for the man's extensive injuries.
“We have identified the owner,” said Chris Lirette with Fort Worth Animal Control. “The owner has been issued citations. Both dogs have been surrendered to the city. Both dogs have been euthanized and shipped for testing for rabies.”
