A recent spate of mysterious animal deaths

Mystery of 100,000 dead fish which washed up on Arkansas river bank

Over 100,000 fish have been found washed up on the river banks on a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River, near Ozark.

Officials are investigating the eerie happening but experts believe that disease is most likely to be the cause. The drum fish were discovered by a tug boat operator on Thursday - a day before thousands of blackbirds fell from the sky only 125 miles away, in Little Rock.
