60,000 Antelope Died in Four Days and No One Knows Why

I know why.



On a serious note, real bummer. Looks like 25% of the population died out. Hopefully they figure out why.

*

It started in late May. When geoecologist Steffen Zuther and his colleagues arrived in central Kazakhstan to monitor the calving of one herd of saigas, a critically endangered, steppe-dwelling antelope, veterinarians in the area had already reported dead animals on the ground.

"But since there happened to be die-offs of limited extent during the last years, at first we were not really alarmed," Zuther, the international coordinator of the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, told Live Science.

But within four days, the entire herd ? 60,000 saiga ? had died. As veterinarians and conservationists tried to stem the die-off, they also got word of similar population crashes in other herds across Kazakhstan. By early June, the mass dying was over.

Poor things, that's disturbing how many died in such a limited time.

Wonder if whatever killed them will affect other animals when they eat them.

Think of how surreal it would have been looking down on this herd, watching them lay down, and not get back up.

I want to watch Planet Earth now.

according to this article, it's either infected mother's milk that caused the die off, or rocket experiments.

I think that they say the antelopes died to internal bleeding caused by bacteria. No need to blame aliens.

About mass die offs, black death came into mind (killed 1/3 of the Europe's population).

Not saying its fake, but the two main sources are the people behind the website(and Registered charity) are webdesigners and media/pr Experts.

I didn't notice that. It was "trending" on my Facebook. You could be right.

I read something earlier that said it was likely a bacteria that turned against them or something, it is normally harmless to them and stored in their bodies but something changed it.

The Soviets used a remote region of Kazakhstan for nuclear testing for 40 years from 1949 to 1989. Vice did a segment on all the human mutations and health issues there in season 2 on HBO.

youtube.com/watch?t=791&v=YMnpnd0T4gE go to the 13:22 mark to skip directly to that segment.

Grieving for our fellow mammals, the antelopes. I hope they get to the bottom of this. Possibly we're next.
